Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre Support WGA Strike By Rescheduling 'Doggystyle' Anniversary Shows

Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre are showing their support for the WGA writers strike by rescheduling their concerts in support of Doggystyle's 30th anniversary. The new dates are now Oct. 20 and Oct. 21.

“Due to the ongoing WGA strike and the DGA and SAG/AFTRA negotiations, we have decided to postpone the shows scheduled for June 27 and June 28 at the Hollywood Bowl. We stand in solidarity with the unions and are hopeful that the AMPTP will negotiate fair deals as soon as possible and everybody can get back to work," Snoop said on Instagram.

“We gotta move that date,” he said in the accompanying video. “Make sure y’all get y’all tickets and stay on point and stay on deck.”

A growing number of Hip-Hop artists have publicly supported the writers strike, including Flavor Flav and Lil Wayne. Wayne sent a Fatburger food truck to folks on the picket line outside of Warner Bros. in Burbank on Thursday (May 25), while Flav delivered pizza to the tune of Public Enemy's "Fight the Power" in May.

Previously, Snoop has been public about his support of the writers as well. While at the Milken Institutes’ Global Conference in May, he suggested musicians should take a page from writers' playbook, particularly as it pertains to demanding revenue from streaming.

“[Artists] need to figure it out the same way the writers are figuring it out,” he said per Variety. "The writers are striking because [of] streaming, they can’t get paid. Because when it’s on the platform, it’s not like in the box office.”
