Eminem is headlining a mini concert tour across Australia with Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole.

During the concert series, which has been titled "Rapture," Slim Shady will perform in four stadium shows beginning next February. First, he will make his debut performance in New Zealand with a Feb. 15 show in Auckland. Next, Marshall Mathers will make stops in Melbourne on Feb. 19, Brisbane on Feb. 20 and Sydney on Feb. 22.

According to Paul Dainty's Dainty Group, the promoter, the concert series will be a "game-changing hip hop event." In addition to supporting acts Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole, 360, a popular Australian hip hop performer, and David Dallas, a New Zealand rapper, will join the show for the Auckland performance.

"I'm pretty stoked," Dallas said in an interview with Billboard. "Eminem has generations of fans in New Zealand. He's never been here, so it's going to be huge."

Dallas says he is a "huge fan" of Eminem.

In 2011, Eminem held another stadium tour with Danity Group, and the series sold out quickly. Dainty dreams of Rapture becoming an annual event. He hopes the series succeeds in "showcasing the best of the best in hip hop at affordable prices to the punter."

Presale of tickets for Rapture begin Oct. 24. Tickets will officially be available Oct. 31. Prices will range from $95 to $290 U.S. currency.

The Marshall Mathers LP 2 drops Nov. 5.
