Rap superstar Eminem has added an Irish tour date to his schedule for next year.

Earlier this week, it was confirmed that the 'Without Me' hitmaker is set to headline 2013's Reading and Leeds Festival, and he will now also be performing at Ireland's Slane Castle on Saturday, August 17.

Tickets for this one-off concert are due to go on sale next Wednesday (December 19) and will be priced at €79.50 (£65) including booking fee.

Eminem was originally meant to play a show there back in 2006, but cancelled after citing "exhaustion, complicated by other medical issues" as the reason for not being able to commit to the event.

Owner of Slane Castle, Lord Henry Montcharles, said of the upcoming concert: “In 2005 I said Eminem was a stunning artist. He is even more so today. I am thrilled he is going to play Slane.”
