Cypress Hill Burns Through NA, Europe

Festivals and a Wellness Retreat are on the menu for Cypress Hill in 2017, as the hip hop group plans to preview new tunes and celebrates a quarter-century of music.

The group will be joining Snoop Dogg on the Mount Kushmore Wellness Retreat for 10 shows up and down the West Coast, then Tucson, Ariz., Las Vegas and Salt Lake City, wrapping up at Morrison, Colo.’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre April 23. Wiz Khalifa is also playing that show in the Centennial State.

After that run, Cypress Hill plays a ton of shows in Europe, mostly festivals. The first Euro date on the books is Winchester, England’s Boomtown Festival on Aug. 11. The last gig scheduled right now is Rottenburger Sommer Open Air in Rottenberg, Germany, on Sept. 2.

The next place you can catch B-Real, Sen Dog, Eric Bobo and DJ Muggs is at Ultra Music Festival in Miami March 25.

MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre, Tampa, Fla.

The band says it has been working on new material, and the performances will likely give a taste of the new stuff. An album will drop later this year. Cypress Hill celebrated the 25-year anniversary of its eponymous debut in 2016.

The Kushmore Tour with Snoop is being sponsored by MerryJane.com, a weed-themed website, so you can treat the tour as a concert/celebration of ganja. Also appearing on the outing will be Method Man, Redman, Lil Uzi Vert, Berner, and Red Rocks Amphitheatre though the lineup will vary from city to city. Fans are encouraged to check their specific listing to see who is playing.

Marijuana is still technically illegal at the federal level, even with a doctor’s prescription. President Donald Trump is reportedly in support of medicinal uses of marijuana, but against recreational consumption, according to White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer. Recently confirmed Attorney General Jeff Sessions has expressed his belief that smoking marijuana is an “unhealthy practice,” and previously said “it does remain a violation of federal law to distribute marijuana throughout any place in the United States, whether a state legalizes it or not.”
