Snoop Dogg Celebrating 30th Anniversary Of “Doggystyle” At The Hollywood Bowl
Snoop Dogg will be celebrating the 30-year anniversary of the release of his debut album Doggystyle with a pair of shows at the Hollywood Bowl this June. On Tuesday, the Los Angeles Philharmonic announced that the 30th Anniversary of Doggystyle and other concerts are scheduled to take place June 27-28 at the venue as part of its summer 2023 concert lineup. Both shows are expected to include appearances and performances by special guests and will be scored by the Derrick Hodge-led Re-Collective Orchestra.
Released on November 23, 1993, Doggystyle is revered as one of the greatest rap albums of all-time and established Snoop as a bonafide megastar. The album, which ranks among the most anticipated debut efforts in Hip-Hop history, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 803,000 copies sold in its first week on shelves, a record for a rap release at the time. Doggystyle stayed atop the albums chart for three weeks and was later certified multiplatinum.
