Eminem to headline Tennent's Vital in Northern Ireland

Eminem is headlining Tennent's Vital on Wednesday joined by a full supporting bill to be announced soon. The festival returns after a four year absence to Northern Ireland on Tuesday 23rd and Wednesday 24th August 2011, at Ward Park, in Bangor, and will run for the next three years.

Since exploding onto the scene in 1999, Eminem has dominated the music charts. He has racked up an incredible five No.1 albums and seven chart topping singles in the UK alone.

His most recent album 'Recovery' was the best-selling album worldwide in 2010 and spawned the massive singles 'Love The Way You Lie' and 'Not Afraid'.

A day ticket for Tennent's Vital with Eminem, on Wednesday 24th August will go on sale from 9am on Friday, 3rd June priced at £49.50, and eFestivals will have links to buy tickets then.

The last time the event was held in 2007 at Ormeau Park, in Belfast, when a combined audience of over 45,000 across the two days watched Razorlight and The Killers headline with the Manic Street Preachers, The View, Kasabian, Mark Ronson, The Shins, and Albert Hammond Jr also making appearances.

Tennent's hopes to emulate the success of Scotland's T In The Park and working in partnership with MCD plan to deliver Northern Ireland its own major festival. The first acts are expected to be confirmed for the event in two weeks time, when ticket prices are also expected to be announced.

eFestivals will have more information once it's available.
