Yep, generally, if not always, you get a wristband for the pit and you can come and go as you please. There's usually an access point for the the pit which is easy to get to and I can't imagine them putting the drink marquees too far from there.

Hi guys, just a question - I was planning on going to this (haven't bought tickets yet, was planning on snapping up some cheap ones as close as possible to the time) but after reading this thread and hearing of all the stabbings etc at SHM, I'm a bit put off. For a 19 year old English guy with an annoyingly posh accent (but who spends a lot of time in Stockwell/Brixton - even they don't have 9 stabbings in one day though) do you think it'd be a good idea, or would one of the other concerts, like Glasgow be a better idea? I'm not planning on drinking there.

Thanks

After living in Stockwell and going to Brixton a lot (Subway for lunch :P) I can confirm those areas have nothing close to a posh accent and they certainly aren't as rough as people say. You'll be fine.

Oh **** did not know Chance is going too.

I'm a big fan of him and all the support acts except Plan B so this night is basically a dream come true for me. My voice will be gone by the time Em is on..

Don't know how it'll be for six of my friends that are going, they don't know any of the support acts and are only part time Eminem fans. Could be a long and boring wait for them during the support.

if you're in the pit you will get a wristband yes.
we'll know nothing else about him, we might get a soundcheck but that'll be it.

Wonder will he play any new tracks off his forthcoming album?

oooohh cool, that'd be great

I would presume so most artist would. Still though if a new and single released in the next two weeks i say get a few tracks. Lots of stuff on you tube but not verified so should be good. Hoping for a greatest hits set. 4 songs of each album.

Greatest hits set, with the exception of Relapse. No new forthcoming albums, f*ck that

aha_sender

So what do people really want him to play for me any of the following will justify it
Guilty Conscience,
The Way I Am,
Stan ( would love if dido flew over to help)
Sing for the moment,
Encore,
Beautiful,
Fast lane,
Airplanes part 2,
Lose Yourself,
Space Bound.
What are your fave 3 albums mine are
1 The Marshall Mathers LP
2 The Eminem Show
3 Recovery ( in time this will probably be my fave)

He more than likely will though, as its due beforw christmas..

I'd guess the whole reason he is touring is to promote it

He'll probably play them all apart from Encore, Airplanes, and Guilty Conscience. As for Dido, you don't need her there because when the crowd all start singing the chorus to both Stan and Toy Soldiers I guarantee you'll get chills. It's amazing when it happens.

He's playing at a G Shock Anniversary event in the States on the 7th in Pukkpepop on the 15th so we'll have an idea of the setlist and chances of hearing new songs from those.

Hopefully he does Airplanes, It was awesome when he did it back at Oxegen 2010

Well baiys, just wondering whats the craic with sneaking drink into slane? I know security will be tight but how thorough are the searches? Like if I thought of a few creative ways to get a naggin in will I definitely get caught? And will they let us in if they do find drink on us? Sorry for all the questions, just dont fancy paying ridiculous amounts for some manky beer all day

You will not get drink in. At all. If you are caught you will more than likely be refused entry. Drink in pubs before you get to castle.

Never been to slane before... Do we need wellies or normal shoes.

Can't really make a judgement on this until 2-3 days before the gig. If we get a lot of rain in next week or so then wellies will probably be needed, however, if we get some dry weather then you should get away with old runners/boots....

I've been to Slane a few times and have always wore wellies but in fairness the ground was never too bad there!!

Better to assess the situation Wed or Thurs next week!!

Four of us heading to Dublin on the Friday, be out for a few casuals. Wouldn't mind meeting a few to put a face to the username :P

Better get stuck into some Slaughterhouse, Yelawolf and Plan B so I can sing along !

I can't get over the amount of people that don't actually read an article in a situation like this.

I had a quick search of Twitter there and came across this absolutely hilarious exchange. The ease with which the person replying accepts the news is scary. They didn't even question where the 'confirmation' came from.

I feel sorry for both of these people.
