Eminem may cross the Atlantic to headline Glastonbury next summer.
The rapper, 49, is reportedly in talks to play the massive event at Worthy Farm in England, according to The sun.
It would be the first time he ever plays at the iconic festival.
“Eminem is wanted for a huge lock at Glastonbury and has been in talks for yonks,” a source told the publication.

“His dates are all lined up and if they can get him on board it will be the first time he ever plays at the festival.”
The source added: “Eminem is one of the biggest rappers in the world and to have him on the farm would be incredible. There is also a huge nostalgia factor with Eminem. He has been around for more than 25 years and everyone knows his music.
“It would be a very special moment not just for him but for everyone at the festival,” the source concluded. “The organizers think he’s signing on the dotted line and they can get things moving.”
News of Eminem’s potential starring role came on the heels of his new album titled Curtain Call: The Hits 2, a follow-up to his 2005 album Curtain Call: The Hits.

Curtain Call: The Hits 2, like its predecessor, serves as a greatest hits album, so many of the songs are recognizable to fans.
In addition to the greatest hits album, Eminem also released a collaboration with rapper Snoop Dogg titled From the D 2 the LBC.
The song marks only the second time the two Dr. Dre students teamed up and publicly ended a feud that developed between the two rappers. The duo also played together on the Super Bowl Halftime Show in February.

The Not Afraid rapper would join the alternative rock group Arctic Monkeys if he agrees to play at the festival.
Arctic Monkeys signed for the third time in the group’s history last month. The band was formed in Sheffield, England, about three hours north of Somerset, where the festival takes place.
‘It’s really special for’ [Arctic Monkeys] to do a hat-trick on that stage and it’s something they’ve wanted to do for a while,” a source told The Sun when the news was first announced. “After the dates for their upcoming tour, they said they couldn’t play at Worthy Farm anymore.”
