Trademark Presents Snoop Dogg 'I Wanna Thank Me' Auckland 2023 Sat MARCH 11 2023 - 4:00 PM THE TRUSTS ARENA Finally the wait is over and Californian Hip Hop icon Snoop Dogg has officially announced brand new dates for his massive upcoming New Zealand tour with special guests still to be announced. The tour kicks off at Christchurch's Orangetheory Stadium on Friday 10 March 2023 and then heads to Auckland's Trusts Outdoors on Saturday 11 March 2023. Snoop Dogg who hasn't performed in New Zealand since 2014 when he headlined the Big Day Out will return to New Zealand shores in 2023 for his 'I WANNA THANK ME' tour which will see the West Coast rap legend celebrate the release of his 17th album 'I Wanna Thank Me' and documentary of the same name released in 2019. While the 'I Wanna Thank Me' documentary celebrates 25 years of Snoop Dogg - a career that has seen the Doggfather cement his undisputed influence on music with chart-topping multi-platinum records while also solidifying his importance as a cultural icon actor and businessman - the upcoming New Zealand tour will be all about the music! Hailed by Rolling Stone as 'America's Most Lovable Pimp; a hip-hop star that has survived gangsta rap charmed Hollywood and won over soccer moms - a hip-hop family man who's evolved from consummate thug to ultimate mack' Snoop Dogg remains one of the most important figures in music almost three decades into his career. He's roasted Donald Trump on national television baked brownies with Martha Stewart co-headlined the Superbowl Half Time Show and collaborated with a list of celebrities that includes 2Pac Pharrell Williams Dr Dre Eminem Warren G Katy Perry Miley Cyrus and many more. Despite immediately turning heads with his appearance on Dr. Dre's iconic album The Chronic in 1992 few could have predicted the meteoric rise of the California local; 17 studio albums 17 Grammy nominations and tens of millions of record sales plus appearances in acclaimed movies and TV shows and his own burgeoning cannabis business. From playing piano at his local baptist church in Long Beach to becoming one of the world's most recognised revered and respected artists....and he's not even close to retiring. Get ready for Snoop Dogg New Zealand!
