A statement from COTA said: "Eminem will take over Saturday, October 19 for a rollicking performance honoring his tremendous impact on hip hop and the music industry during the past two decades. 2024 is a special year for the Detroit rapper – it marks the 25th anniversary of his epic Slim Shady LP – which made him famous with the hit "My Name Is."

"Eminem just announced his new album "The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grace)" which will be released this summer. Eminem hasn't played a headlining show in 5 years making this appearance a can't-miss opportunity to see a living legend perform."

The venue added: "On Friday, October 18, Sting will perform fan favorites such as "Roxanne," "Every Breath You Take," "Message in a Bottle," among many others.

"The rock icon has sold over 100 million albums worldwide and boasts 17 Grammy Awards from his combined work with The Police and as a solo artist. Sting's performance at the USGP will be the only visit to Texas amid his 'Sting 3.0' tour."
