Snoop Dogg lines up fall dates in 'Wonderland'
Snoop Dogg will hit the road in October to stir up interest in his forthcoming studio album, "Malice in Wonderland," which is set to surface in December.
The tour kicks off Oct. 27 in Baltimore, MD. So far, the trek consists of shows in 11 cities, including New York (10/29), Boston (11/1) and Chicago (11/4), with the outing concluding Nov. 8 in Dallas, TX. Dates are below.
Earlier this week, the rap impresario was named Creative Chairman of the revived Priority Records label by parent company EMI.
"Starting fresh with EMI is a great feeling," Snoop said in a press release. "It's a new partnership, a new Priority Records, and a new Snoop Dogg: the Creative Chairman ... the Boss Dogg ... the Dogg Father. The business model we've developed will bring the musical heritage of groups like N.W.A. to the forefront."
Along with giving Snoop his new title, Priority will release his 10th studio album, "Malice in Wonderland," Dec. 8. The set features production by Dr. Dre, The Neptunes and Pete Rock, among others, and guest appearances by R. Kelly, Ghostface Killah, Mary J. Blige, Pharrell and many others.
"Malice in Wonderland" follows last year's "Ego Trippin'," which debuted at No. 3 on The Billboard 200, selling 137,000 copies in its first week of release.
