Snoop Dogg's Rescheduled Australian Tour Is Finally Happening

Snoop Dogg is finally returning to Australia after his November tour was rescheduled. Fans of the Doggyland rapper can see him perform in all his glory in February and March 2023, with new dates added in Sydney and Melbourne to meet demand. 

Snoop's I WANNA THANK ME tour is touching down in Australia after nine years between visits when he headlined Big Day Out festival in 2014. The tour is named after the album and documentary of the same name, promoting his 17th album and 25 years of making music.

Perth fans are first on Snoop's run; the rapper will stop at RAC Arena on Monday, 27 February 2023. From there, Snoop Dogg will be dropping it like it's hot with two shows at Sydney's Qudos Bank Arena on Wednesday, 1 and Thursday, 2 March, a further double showing at Melbourne's Rod Laver Arena on Saturday, 4, and Sunday, 5 March, and ends his gigs at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Tuesday, 7 March. 

Tickets purchased for their original dates remain valid; if you're a ticketholder for the November 2022 shows, you don't need to take any action. If you don't have tickets, however, find them here.

The excellent tour news arrives as a biopic about the beloved hip-hop figure is in the works. 

As Deadline reported, the movie is in partnership with Snoop's newly formed Death Row Pictures and Universal Pictures. The biopic will be the first film from Death Row Pictures and feature music from Snoop Dogg's extensive catalogue. Menace II Society director, Allen Hughes, takes the reigns alongside Black Panther's Joe Robert Cole, penning the script. Snoop is co-producing with Hughes and Sara Ramaker.

"I waited a long time to put this project together because I wanted to choose the right director, the perfect writer, and the greatest movie company I could partner with that could understand the legacy that I'm trying to portray on screen and the memory I'm trying to leave behind," Snoop revealed in a statement. "It was the perfect marriage. It was holy matrimony, not holy macaroni."
