Bow wow wow, yippie yo, yippie yay!<\/p>\n

Long Beach\u2019s very own, Snoop Dogg, is returning home to headline the grand opening celebration of the Long Beach Amphitheater slated for this summer.<\/p>\n

\u201cOpening our doors with\u00a0Snoop\u00a0Dogg is the perfect way to celebrate Long Beach\u2019s rich music legacy and signals our commitment to bringing world-class entertainment to this community,\u201d said Tra Jones, general manager of Long Beach Amphitheater for Legends Global. \u201cThis venue will be built to honor the city\u2019s creative spirit, and there\u2019s no better artist to launch that mission.\u201d<\/p>\n

The West Coast rap legend was born and raised in the coastal Los Angeles town. Over three decades ago, he burst onto the scene, defining the gangsta rap and G-Funk genres. However, over time, he\u2019s served as an actor, host and more.<\/p>\n

\u201cLong Beach built the culture\u2014and now we\u2019ve built the stage for it. The opening of the Long Beach Amphitheater is a defining cultural moment and a historic homecoming. From our neighborhoods to the global stage,\u00a0Snoop\u00a0Dogg has always represented this city\u2014and now we welcome him home to open a venue that reflects our culture and captures the vibe that defines Long Beach,\u201d said Long Beach Mayor Rex Richardson.<\/p>\n
