The tour was also extended to three stadium shows in Australia that took place in December 2011.
Eminem had stated before the release of Relapse that he would not tour the album due to his daughter, Hailie, not liking him being away from home.

Eminem's website quoted him as saying: "I’m excited to get back to Europe to rock some shows.
