Snoop Dogg to play 2023 Leeds First Direct Arena show as part of 'I Wanna Thank Me' tour

American rapper Snoop Dogg is coming to Leeds as part of his rescheduled 'I Wanna Thank Me' tour. Three years after its original 2020 UK tour date, fans can now buy tickets for the new 2023 show from tomorrow (December 22).

The tour was originally meant to take place in 2020 to promote his 2019 album 'I Wanna Thank Me', but was first cancelled due to coronavirus, and then a second time in 2022 due to 'unforeseen scheduling conflicts'. However, fans can now buy tickets for the new Leeds show where the rapper is due to headline on Monday, March 27 2023.

Now officially back on, awaiting fans can buy pre-sale tickets from 9am this Thursday, December 22 on Ticketek or Ticketmaster, whilst the general sale starts a few hours later at 12pm.

Ticket availability is expected to be less than normal as fans with tickets for previous postponed shows still have valid entry, so ticket sales tomorrow are expected to be competitive.

The Leeds date is one of the closing shows for the UK leg as the rapper plays his final show in Birmingham on Tuesday, March 28 at the Resorts World Arena. Other dates include Manchetser, London and Dublin.

After years of anticipation 'I Wanna Thank Me' celebrates Snoop Dogg's 25 years in the industry, with multi-platinum records, chart-topping hits and honouring his key music collaborations. He will be joined on his UK leg of the tour by Irish rap duo Versatile, as well as a handful of popular collab artists including Obie Trice and D12.

The tour is a celebration of his journey from being discovered by Dr. Dre back in the early 90's to rising to global fame through tens of millions of record sales and a prominent acting career in Hollywood.
