His name is (what?) His name is (who?) His name is … Slim Shady!
That’s right peeps, this summer Roskilde Festival will get buzzed, get drunk, get crunked, and get fuuuuuucked up when US rapper Eminem comes to Denmark for the very first time.
Fittingly, the iconic US rapper will perform on the Orange Scene on July 4 and probably showcase some of his numerous global hits such as ‘Stan’, ‘The Real Slim Shady’, ‘My Name is’ and ‘Cleanin’ Out My Closet’, to mention just a few.
“We’ve tried to get Eminem to Roskilde Festival every year since the turn of the century, so it’s almost indescribable that we’ve finally succeeded in 2018,” said Anders Wahrén, the head of the festival’s booking committee.
“I can’t think of a bigger scoop than landing him and I almost shed a tear when I received the call that finally confirmed his presence.”
