The Recovery Tour
Encyclopedia
The Recovery Tour was a series of European concerts by American rapper Eminem
in support of his 2010 album Recovery as well as his 2009 album Relapse. Instead of widely touring the album, Eminem took the tour to three European festivals, performing to over 200,000 people over three nights. In November 2010, Eminem headlined the F1 Rocks 2010 in São Paulo. In the following year, another eight shows on festivals in North America and Europe were announced. The tour was also extended to 3 stadium shows in Australia
to take place in December 2011. These are to be his first Australian shows since 2001. At the moment it's not clear whether the Australian concerts are still part of The Recovery Tour, as they're being promoted as Eminem: Lose Yourself.
