UPDATED with details of cancelation: Snoop Dogg’s much-anticipated two-night Hollywood Bowl engagement to mark the 30th anniversary of his career-making Doggystyle album was officially canceled today, with the artist citing the ongoing strikes by writers and actors. Snoop has repeatedly demonstrated his support for striking actors and writers.
In a statement posted online, Snoop Dogg wrote, “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. 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.”

The shows, produced by Dr. Dre, were originally scheduled for late June, but they were pushed back to Oct. 20-21 when the WGA went on strike. Snoop Dogg said at the time that he and Dr. Dre “stand in solidarity with the writers” and opted to reschedule the performers. More on that below.
But with actors now joining writers on the picket lines, and no indication that a deal is on the horizon with either union, the Hollywood Bowl shows have been officially scrubbed.
According to a notice on the Bowl’s website, people who purchased tickets will automatically receive refunds, credited to the original payment method. The refunds are expected to be processed within the next week.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Landing a first headlining slot at the Hollywood Bowl is a cherished milestone for any major musical acts who claim Los Angeles as their home base. It can even mean a little more, probably, when it’s a sibling jubilee. Last summer, it was a homecoming-queens coronation for the Haim sisters, who got the honor a mere nine years into their professional career. This year, the Bowl debut honor for cherished locals goes to the Mael brothers, who only had to wait 52 years for their own crowning gig. What’s five decades among friends and family … everybody loves a slow build, right? The brothers would never be mistaken for rank sentimentalists, but Sunday night’s Sparks show might have brought a hint of a tear to a waggish eye, knowing it was a boyhood dream. Or at least when Ron and Russell Mael’s mom brought them to see the Beatles at the venue in 1965, it was “probably some good education,” as Russell allowed near the beginning of the show. At the Bowl Sunday, Mom was likely not around, but they did have the closest thing they’ve probably had lately to a surrogate parent, director Edgar Wright, whose consciousness-raising documentary “The Sparks Brothers” can be loosely said to have kind of nurtured them across a sort of finish line. (The show-closing photo seen above, plus some video snippets below, are courtesy of Wright’s backstage camera.)
