Rapper Eminem is set to perform a number of concerts in countries such as Belgium and France this summer.

The Slim Shady performer will headline the Pukkelpop Fesitval on Aug. 8 in Belgium and make a number of stops afterwards until he ends his tour at the United Kingdom's Leeds Festival on Aug. 25, according to The Drop.fm. He will perform tracks such as Guilty Conscience, Stan and Not Afraid. His tour is so far scheduled solely in August but more dates will perhaps follow in anticipation for the release of his new album, set to arrive after Memorial Day.

His 2013 release will be Eminem's eighth studio album and a follow-up to 2010's Recovery. Fans are guessing a collaboration with his longtime friend and producer Dr. Dre since the two have worked together on numerous tracks, such as I Need a Doctor, Guilty Conscience and Forget About Dre. The two have brought each other much success and in March Complex magazine ranked The Real Slim Shady, which Dr. Dre directed, as No. 14 and Forgot About Dre as No. 6 in their countdown of the 50 Best Rap Videos of the 00's

Dr. Dre confirmed Eminem's new album in an interview with Power 106 in March. Shady Records President Paul Rosenberg similarily confirmed an album from Eminem earlier in 2013.

"We full expect to be releasing a new Eminem album in 2013," Rosenberg said. "He's been working on it for some time. It's safe to say that it will be post-Memorial Day at some point, but we're not exactly sure when."

"We've got some dates locked in for him to perform live in Europe in August," he added. "So we're trying to see what else lines up."
