Snoop Dogg announces rescheduled tour with Manchester 2023 date

American rapper and West Coast legend, Snoop Dogg will be making his presence felt in the UK once again as he announces a seven-date tour for March 2023, as part of his rescheduled UK and Ireland tour.

The long-time king of rap royalty was forced to cancel previous UK dates for 2022 due to "unforeseen scheduling conflicts, including family obligations and upcoming tv and film projects."

His newly announced tour dates form part of the rescheduled dates which will see Snoop and support acts including Warren G, D-12, Versatile, The Dogg Pound, Obie Trice, and Xzibit crew play to over 20,000 fans at that Manchester AO Arena on Wednesday, March 15, 2023.

Original tickets remain valid but fans can also join the pre-sale waiting list here and pre-sale tickets will go live at 9am on Thursday, December 22 via Ticketek and Ticketmaster. General sale tickets will launch at 12pm the same day.

This year, Snoop Dogg has been busy with the formation of the supergroup Mount Westmore with fellow rap stars E-40, Too Short, and Ice Cube. The hip-hop veterans showed that they are very much still at the top of their game with the release of their debut album 'Snoop, Cube, 40, $hort'.

The rapper also collaborated with DJ Drama on the album Gangsta Grillz: I Still Got It' as well as releasing 'Snoop Dog Presents Death Row Summer 2022', two 'NFT Drop' albums and his latest LP, 'BODR'.

As one of the best-known figures from the gangsta rap era of the 1990s, Snoop and his music have long been considered the epitome of West Coast hip-hop culture.

With many fans still loyal to him since his early days and a new generation of hip-hop devotees keen to hear more, tickets are likely to sell out quickly for his only dates in the UK for 2023.

Full tour dates include:

• Tuesday, March 14 - Belfast SSE Arena
• Wednesday, March 15 - Manchester AO Arena
• Thursday, March 16 - Glasgow OVO Arena
• Tuesday, March 21 - London, O2 Arena
• Sunday, March 26 - Dublin 3Arena
• Monday, March 27 - Leeds First Direct Arena
• Tuesday, March 28 - Birmingham Resorts World Arena
