Eminem will treat the city of Detroit to a special performance
on Wednesday (June 29) at the ‘Rockin the Rooftop,’ a large fundraising
event that is known for its display of fireworks.
Eminem was specifically sought out by Detroit’s ‘Hip-Hop Mayor,’
Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick to perform at the event, which is part of the International
Freedom Festival.
"The fireworks are a big part of summertime in Detroit, and I want to support
them and the Mayor," Eminem said. "I’ve come downtown to watch them
since I was a kid, and I’ll get involved in something that helps the city any
way I can."
The concert is one of the largest fundraising events for the city and will take
place on the roof of a downtown Detroit parking garage.
Eminem agreed to perform one song and organizers hope to sell over 2,000 tickets
at $175 per person.
