Cypress Hill have announced a live-stream performance for this Friday evening (June 19). The iconic hip-hop outfit will go live on the Melody VR app from 6pm PT (2am BST).
It will be Cypress Hill’s first performance together since coronavirus lockdown regulations came into place in March. They’ve dubbed their concert ‘Live from LA’.
The group had been scheduled to begin a world tour in March, however, were forced to pull out of these dates as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.
“We were so disappointed when we had to postpone our tour and it’s so great to get together after three long months apart,” Cypress Hill said in a press statement.
According to their press release, the live-stream will take viewers inside the band’s “state-of-the-art studio space to experience the exclusive 360° performance” and will feature “bespoke video walls”.
“We want to give our fans a unique experience and let them see the stage from our view. Live from LA with MelodyVR will be an intimate show which will take things to the next level,” the band said.
The band have also revealed their setlist for the performance, which can be viewed below.
In 2019, Cypress Hill made history by becoming the first Latino hip-hop group to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
“We love the star. It could have been a gold leaf, though, a gold weed leaf. That would have been good too,” rapper B-Real commented at the time.
