Snoop Dogg Cancels ‘Doggystyle’ 30th Anniversary At Hollywood Bowl In Solidarity With Striking Actors, Writers

Snoop Dogg announced July 25 the cancellation of his much-anticipated, two-night “Doggystyle 30th Anniversary” shows at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, citing solidarity with striking fellow SAG-AFTRA artists. 

Originally scheduled in June, with Dr. Dre producing, the shows were pushed to Oct. 20-21 when the Writers Guild of America went out on strike. With the addition of acting guilds to the picket lines, the shows are now scrubbed entirely.

Snoop, a union man as an actor and musician, has consistently demonstrated his support for the strikers and, in a statement posted to his Instagram account, “We regret to inform you that due to the ongoing strike and the uncertainty of when this will be over, we need to cancel the Hollywood Bowl show.

“We continue to stand in solidarity with all of our brothers and sisters in the WGA and SAG/AFTRA during this difficult time and remain hopeful that the AMPTP will come back to the negotiating table with a REAL proposal and we can all get back to work.”

Striking actors and writers are forbidden by union rules to participate in a variety of activities until a collective bargaining agreement is reached, including performing, singing and promotion.

Ticketholders will automatically receive refunds, according to the Hollywood Bowl’s website, credited to the method of the original payment. Refunds are expected to be processed within the next week.
