COTA entertainment head talks about Eminem's concert at the 2024 F1 US GP

The music and entertainment head at the Circuit of the Americas, Glynn Wedgewood, recently talked about landing a concert with Eminem for the 2024 F1 US GP.

Speaking to Autosport, Wedgewood explained how COTA was trying to make a deal with the famous rapper to perform even before the 2024 season. However, due to the artist's tight schedule, he was unable to.

"We weren't looking specifically at Eminem for this year. These conversations started a while back and we were looking at trying to make the Eminem show work last year. That didn't work out with his work schedule, but those conversations continued and here we are: He's here this year," Wedgewood said.

Wedgewood also said that this was Eminem's first proper concert in the US after 2019 when he went on a tour.

"His only North American show. I think he hasn't played since 2019 on tour. And he's just dropped an album like two months ago. This is massive, you know. It's a really big coup. So we're all really excited. So that's kind of in a nutshell how we go about it," he added.

The 2024 F1 US GP was won by Ferrari's Charles Leclerc. His teammate Carlos Sainz finished second, while Red Bull's Max Verstappen and McLaren's Lando Norris finished P3 and P4, respectively.
