Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg have long since established themselves as one of the most iconic duos in the realm of Hip Hop. So, it’s only natural that excitement would ensue whenever these two luminaries reunite.
On Friday, (September 29) the pair made their way to the opening night of Las Vegas’ immersive new Sphere venue, where rock band U2 held the inaugural show.

“N*gga came to see U2 man,” began Snoop in a video clip shared via Instagram, highlighting the venue space.
According to Billboard, the evening was chock-full of magic, including floor-to-ceiling graphics, an intimate conversation with Bono, a tribute to U2 drummer Larry Mullen Jr. (who sat out the gig as he recovered from surgery), and a setlist full of old classics.

Other celebrities in attendance included Bryan Cranston, Sir Paul McCartney, executive (and longtime Dr. Dre business partner) Jimmy Iovine, Diplo, Luke Wilson, Jon Hamm, Dakota Fanning, Aaron Paul, Elizabeth Banks, Josh Duhamel, and many more.
In music news, the dynamic duo have been hard at work conjuring up their forthcoming album, Missionary.
In June, Snoop shared a photo of Dre sitting behind the boards, coffee in hand, as he chipped away at some new tunes.

The pair were previously spotted reuniting in the studio last March, with Snoop announcing on Instagram: “The Chronic is bac home.” Snoop then confirmed during a red carpet appearance last summer with ET that the two were in fact “cooking up” something new.
Meanwhile, in a recent interview with From The Desk Of Lo, The D.O.C.,who was enlisted to help the pair put the final touches on the project, revealed it sounds like the perfect balance between old and new.
“I plan on going to LA for a week next week to help Snoop and Dre finish Snoop’s Missionary album,” the former N.W.A affiliate said. “We all haven’t worked together seriously — where we’re all in a creative space — in a long time. And we’re all in a space where we wanna do something great so it should be a cool week. We should come up with two or three really great records since we’re all in this kind of space.”
He added: “We love each other. Y’know, those are my brothers — I want them to win and they want me to win. We work for each other’s wins and that’s just what that is. We’re lucky if everybody’s in the right headspace, that’s the tricky part. But right now, in this moment, I think we’re all in that space where we’re ready to do some new shit.”

About the upcoming album feeling like a family reunion, he said, “It sounds like what Snoop’s next record would’ve been like on Death Row, that’s what it sounds like.”
