Eminem made hist first appearance this year on America's West Coast as he performed at the Epicenter Festival in California at the weekend.

The Detroit rapper played a career-spanning set on the main stage ahead of headliners KISS on Saturday (September 25).

Eminem was backed by an impressive stage show, which included lasers and a brief appearance from his rap collective, D-12.

"I'm back, man," he Eminem said. "You miss me? I missed y'all."

MTV News reports that the rapper also lead the crowd in a chant of “Free Lil' Wayne” before playing their recent collaboration, 'No Love'.

The hip-hop star is currently serving a one-year prison sentence for gun posession.

Other songs in the rapper's set included 'The Way I Am', 'Not Afraid', 'Love The Way You Lie', 'Lose Yourself' and '3AM'.

The festival marked Eminem's first live appearance since his Home From Home co-headlining concerts alongside Jay-Z earlier this month.
