Eminem and Rihanna have collaborated on a few of the biggest pop-rap singles of recent years. Now they’re teaming up again for a brief series of stadium shows.

“The Monster Tour” will make three stops, including one at the Rose Bowl on Aug. 7. (It hits the New York area and Detroit soon after.)

Tickets will go on sale March 28, but fans should expect some presale opportunities on Facebook, Live Nation and American Express.

Like Justin Timberlake and Jay Z before them, Eminem and Rihanna have a track record of collaborating on records that could be intriguing when translated onstage. Jay Z and Timberlake joined up on “Suit & Tie” and then went out on the road for a joint stadium tour, including a Rose Bowl stop, last year.

Rihanna and Em have worked together on the hit singles “Love the Way You Lie” and “Monster.” No word yet on whether this tour heralds more collaborations to come. Eminem’s most recent release was last year’s “The Marshall Mathers LP 2,” Rihanna’s was 2012’s “Unapologetic.”
