Snoop Dogg announces gig at Leeds First Direct Arena on massive UK and Ireland tour

Snoop Dog has finally rescheduled his tour dates around the UK and Ireland after his shows were pushed back in the pandemic.

The legendary rapper has included a massive show at the First Direct Arena in Leeds on his new tour dates, planned for 2023.

He’ll be bringing some huge names on tour with him too, including Xzibit as a special guest for England and Scotland.

Also joining the tour will be West Coast hip hop royalty Warren G, Tha Dogg Pound, Obie Trice and D12, plus Irish rap duo Versatile.

With more than 25 years under his belt in his rap career, Snoop Dogg (previously known as Snoop Doggy Dogg and, briefly, Snoop Lion) will be performing from his massive collection of 19 solo studio albums and five collaborative albums.

His singles have included Drop It Like It’s Hot with Pharrell, Gin and Juice, and What’s My Name?, collaborating with the likes of 2Pac, Miley Cyrus, Bruno Mars, Stevie Wonder and Drake over the course of his career.

He was first discovered by Dr Dre in the early 1990s, and his debut album Doggystyle (produced by Dre himself) climbed straight to the top of the Billboard hip-hop charts.

Now, he has the distinction for having the most Grammy nominations of any music artist— 17 to date – without having won one.

His success has spilled onto the screen too, with appearances in films like Starsky & Hutch and Training Day.

He’s also the face of that inescapably catchy Just Eat advert…
