Guerilla
Union, the independent live events company behind world-class
platforms such as
Rock The Bells
and Paid Dues,
has announced the return of the annual Cypress Hill Smokeout 2010
on Saturday, October 16 at the NOS Events Center in San
Bernardino, CA - proudly supported once again by DUBCNN.
The mind-opening music festival and cannabis expo made its celebrated
return in 2009. The Cypress Hill Smokeout is back with its most
eclectic and impressive line-up to date. Making their only
North-American appearance, Grammy-nominated, alternative rock band,
Incubus will headline.
Celebrated for his diverse and multi-genre blending musical style
International musician, Manu Chao makes his first US return since 2008.
Additional performance highlights include Cypress Hill, Deadmau5
“unhooked”, MGMT, Slightly Stoopid, Nas and Damian “Jr Gong” Marley,
Atmosphere and more.
The Cypress Hill Smokeout is a world-renowned platform that
harnesses the power of music to celebrate self-expression, individuality
and the freedom to choose one’s own way of life. The festival will
showcase over 20 acts on 3 stages. "The Smoke Out is one of Guerilla
Union’s most successful live music artist partnerships and this year’s
show may be our most important and historic ever. It represents our
company’s independent spirit and passion for creating unique live
experiences. It’s truly an honor to work with Cypress Hill and all of
this year’s world-class artists. SmokeOut is not only a well respected
music festival, but also a platform for compassion, activism, and
education for the entire medical marijuana community. With the help of
Americans For Safe Access, Cypress Hill’s SmokeOut will continue to
support the legalization of Medical Marijuana and patient’s rights. We
need to encourage our community to vote this November. The timing of
this year’s show in October (Californians will be voting on tax and
regulation this November) along with the incredible coalition of
cannabis friendly artists, activists, and industry leaders joining this
year’s bill will help raise awareness and support for important medical
marijuana issues locally and nationally. With all that said, SmokeOut
has always been about great music and positive vibes. There’s going to
be another line-up announcement soon. I promise our fans will not be
disappointed," Chang Weisberg, Founder of Guerilla Union,
told Dubcnn.
Following their landmark performance of "Black Sunday" in its
entirety at last year’s event, Cypress Hill will make history
again. The group will perform their ground-breaking, debut self-titled
album, "Cypress Hill" for the first time in their career. The
two-time platinum album was released in 1991, which included
chart-topping singles, “Stoned Is The Way Of The Walk”, “How I Could
Just Kill A Man”, “Latin Lingo” and “Hand On The Pump”. Described by
Rolling Stone (10/3/91) as “innovative and engaging”, Cypress Hill
catapulted the group into major critical and commercial success and has
since made influential albums lists by leading publications including,
Rolling Stone, Spin Magazine and The Source.
"Performing our self-titled album in its entirety is going to be a
celebration and opportunity to treat our fans that have been supporting
our music for nearly twenty years. We have a few more surprises to
unveil as we prepare for SmokeOut and the upcoming vote in November. The
SmokeOut exists to protect medical marijuana patient's rights and we
encourage our fans to go to AmericansForSafeAccess.org to learn how they
can make a difference. There are a lot of artists on this year's show
that we love and respect. I can't wait to see all our fans, friends, and
family back at the NOS Events Center in San Bernardino" B Real of
Cypress Hill explained.
