Snoop Dogg ‘Doggystyle' Concerts Postponed Due To SAG-AFTRA, WGA Strike

Snoop Dogg announced that his upcoming "Doggystyle" concerts will be rescheduled to a later date in solidarity with the current strike in Hollywood.

The Screen Actors Guild - American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) and the Writers Guild of America (WGA) are on strike against the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) in wager of a fair contract on the streaming age.

Similarly, Snoop Dogg advocates the same case for artists against streaming platforms.

Snoop Dogg 'Doggystyle' Concerts Rescheduled Dates

In an Instagram announcement, Snoop Dogg revealed that his upcoming "Doggystyle" concerts at the Hollywood Bowl were postponed and rescheduled to a later date.

"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," the said in a statement. "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."

Dr. Dre is producing the said show, which will be in celebration of "Doggystyle's" 30th anniversary. Supposedly, it was set to take place on Jun. 27 and 28 at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, California.

The Snoop Dogg "Doggystyle" Concerts rescheduled dates will now be on Oct. 20 and 21, 2023.

"We gotta move that date. Me and Dr. Dre, we stand in solidarity with the writers," he furthered, as quoted by Rolling Stone. "So make sure you get your tickets to stay on point and stay on deck."

Are Snoop Dogg 'Doggystyle' Concerts Impacted By The Strike?

Snoop Dogg made no mention of which aspect of the concert will be affected by the strike. Technically, since the show will not be aired on television or in film, the live concert shouldn't be affected by the SAG-AFTRA and the WGA strike.

Even though Snoop Dogg is a SAG-AFTRA card holder, he is not participating in his concerts as an actor, as it was not for film or television.

Earlier this week, Snoop Dogg advocated for the writers and actors and talked about a similar ordeal that recording artists face against streaming platforms and the low payout they get from the streaming era. (via Deadline)

"We need to figure that out the same way the writers are figuring out... The writers are striking because streaming, they can't get paid," he argued. "Because, when it's on the platform, it's not like in the box office. In the box office, if it does all these numbers, you may get an up - 'Oh, it did this many, here's another check.' But on streaming you got 300,000 hours that somebody watched your movie. Where's the money?"
