The tour is a collaboration between Snoop Dogg and other legendary West Coast acts
The Long Beach, California native recently announced his High Hopes Concert series in collaboration with producer and agent Bobby Dee. The lineup for Snoop Dogg’s music festival includes Ice Cube, Method Man, Cypress Hill, Redman, Xzibit, Warren G, and Tha Dogg Pound.
The performance will be held in Ontario, California on Nov. 19. Tickets are currently available for purchase at Ticketmaster. Prices range from $49 to about $300, with mostly general admission for the festival.
Also joining the series is Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. All five of its members — Krayzie, Layzie, Bizzy, Wish, and Flesh — will take the stage. The group originated in Cleveland, Ohio, and gained traction in the early ’90s after signing to Eazy-E’s Ruthless Records.
The group’s biggest hit is “Tha Crossroads,” a tribute to then-recently deceased Eazy-E. It earned them a Grammy Award in 1997. Several of its members have since transitioned into reality television, on shows like We TV’s Growing Up Hip Hop.
It’s a farewell concert for Bone Thugs-N-Harmony
The festival will be one of the full group’s final performances. It comes after Bizzy’s song “Bizzy Get’s Busy” recently questioned why the other members of the group had performed without him. However, the group reunited for a Verzuz against Three Six Mafia.
Things have since settled down between the group. According to The Jasmine Brand, Bizzy’s manager reportedly promised the rapper will attend Snoop Dogg’s music festival.
The group has been in the news as of late due to reports of being set up by Suge Knight in the ‘90s
In early September, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony began trending after news broke that Suge Knight allegedly offered $10,000 to have them attacked in 1995. During a recent interview with The Art of Dialogue, Krayzie Bone claimed the former Death Row Records owner put a hit out on him and his group members to be attacked at that year’s Source Awards.
“When we was at the Source Awards, they told me they was gonna pay somebody $10,000 to run up there and sling on [us] with a cane,” he alleged. There was a lot of beef going on back then, it was intense. I remember that Source Awards being very intense. It was wild.”
He continued: “They told us that [Suge] had called a meeting one time and told everybody to look at our videos. One of us was wearing a Georgetown Bulldogs beanie, but we had a New York Yankees — we had different [hats]. The director told us, ‘Put the beanies on because the special effects gonna make y’all afros look like fire.’”
