Good news for those Scottish Eminem fans who didn’t get tickets for his UK shows when the Ticketmaster computer system crashed at their local Virgin Megastore – Slim Shady has added two more dates to the UK and Ireland leg of his world tour – though you're going to have to travel because the extra dates are at the Milton Keynes National Bowl (on 23 Jun) and at Ireland's Punchestown Racecourse (27 Jun). Tickets go on sale on Saturday at 9am, expect another very quick sell out.
And take heart with six dates in the UK and Ireland – US fans will have to make do with one live show from Mr Mathers this year. Promoters have confirmed a stadium date in his home town of Detroit on 12 Jun will be his only North American date in 2003. Missy Elliot and 50 Cent will also appear at the gig.
