Students will be able sip on gin and juice with iconic rapper Snoop Dogg on March 14 when he performs at the Varsity Theatre.
“We have tried several times in the past to get Snoop Dogg at The Varsity,” said Chris Lundgren, talent buyer and marketing director at the Varsity Theatre. “In the past, Baton Rouge has generally been a consequence of tour routing or preference to play New Orleans. This time, the routing and availability was in our favor, and we were able to lock in the date.”
Tickets are available for $42.50 to customers 18 and older, according to a Varsity news release.
“It’s awesome. Snoop is definitely considered a legend, and the fact he is coming to Baton Rouge is something special,” said Justin Kirk, kinesiology senior.
Lundgren said he hopes the notoriety of acts at the Varsity continues to grow.
“We have some huge acts coming this semester: Flogging Molly, Ice Cube, Pat Green and House of Pain, just to name a few,” Lundgren said. “We think this is one of our biggest and most diverse lineups in quite some time.”
