Action Bronson will join Eminem for his Australian Rapture tour.

Bronson, whose real name is Arian Asllani, entered the rap game in 2009. By 2011 he completed his debut album Dr. Lecter. Ealier this year, the rapper released his latest EP Saaab Stories with Warner Bros. via the Vice Imprint. The Flushing, New York-native rapper already toured Australia in early 2013, Australian music web site theMusic.com.au reports.

Action Bronson will join featured artists Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, Chance the Rapper and popular Australian hip hop performer 360. David Dallas, a New Zealand rapper, will join the show for the Auckland performance.

"in february ill be joining Eminem Kendrick Lamar J.Cole Chance The Rapper and Action Bronson on the rapture tour...,"360 said via Twitter to confirm the news.

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.

"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."

Rapture tickets will officially be available Oct. 31. VIP fan ticket packages are available through Showbiz; New Zealanders can get the package here. Prices will range from $95 to $290 U.S. currency.
