Ice Cube announces date for Dublin gig later this year

Ice Cube has announced he will be playing in Dublin later this year alongside fellow Hip Hop icons The Game and Cypress Hill.

They will be coming to the 3 Arena on December 9 as part of their Irish and UK tour. The announcement comes as part of his High Rollers tour. The tour will be starting in Glasgow on December 5 before making its way to Birmingham, Manchester, Dublin, London and ending in Nottingham.

Ice Cube is an award-winning musician, actor, director, producer, civil rights leader and now CEO and co-founder of the BIG3 professional 3-on-3 basketball league. He first rose to fame as part of the group N.W.A with songs 'Straight Outta Compton' and 'Fuck tha Police.'

Once he left the group in the mid nineties he went on to peruse one of the most successful solo careers in music history. As a solo recording artist, he has sold more than 10 million albums while remaining one of rap’s most respected and influential artists and was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2016.

As well as music, Ice Cube has become recognised in the acting world in his own right. He has starred in and produced movies such as Friday, Ride Along, Barbershop and Are we There Yet?. He received a star on the Hollywood walk of fame in 2017.

Joining him will be the legendary Cypress Hill, who burst on the scene in 1991 and are the first Latino-American hip-hop group to achieve platinum and multi-platinum success. Since the release of Black Sunday, Cypress Hill have put out seven more albums including 2018’s critically acclaimed, Elephants on Acid.

Tickets start at €60 and can be bought on Ticketmaster.
