Snoop Dogg will be \u201cBack On Da Blocc\u201d on the West Coast to headline the Long Beach Amphitheater\u2019s grand opening celebration this summer<\/p>\n
Snoop Dogg will return to the city that raised him to headline the grand opening celebration of the Long Beach Amphitheater on June 6, marking a milestone for the city\u2019s live entertainment scene.<\/p>\n
Designed to host a wide range of performances, the Long Beach Amphitheater aims to bring diverse talent from around the world to Long Beach, spanning genres from hip-hop to country. Snoop Dogg, a globally recognized artist with deep West Coast roots, reflects both the venue\u2019s local pride and its broader vision, making him a fitting choice to headline the amphitheater\u2019s debut celebration.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis venue will be built to honor the city\u2019s creative spirit, and there\u2019s no better artist to launch that mission,\u201d said Tra Jones, general manager of Long Beach Amphitheater for Legends Global.<\/p>\n
Joining the amphitheater\u2019s stage following Snoop Dogg are well-known names like Lil Wayne, 2 Chainz, Luke Bryan and M\u00f6tley Cr\u00fce, artists who reflect the venue\u2019s commitment to bringing a wide array of live music to Long Beach.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Set to be the city\u2019s first open-air music venue, the Long Beach Amphitheater will feature downtown city views from the Pacific coast waterline. The venue will function as both a community gathering space and a venue for private or corporate events.<\/p>\n
\u201cLong Beach built the culture \u2013 and now we\u2019ve built the stage for it,\u201d Long Beach Mayor Rex Richardson said. \u201cThe opening of the Long Beach Amphitheater is a defining cultural moment and a historic homecoming.\u201d<\/p>\n
