Snoop Dogg to Open Long Beach’s New Amphitheater With Grand Opening Show

Long Beach is getting a new waterfront concert venue — and one of the city’s most famous hometown icons is opening the stage.

The Long Beach Amp Grand Opening with Snoop Dogg & Friends is scheduled for Saturday, June 6, 2026 at 7:00 PM at the F&M Bank Amphitheater of Long Beach.

The event marks the official debut of Long Beach’s new amphitheater, bringing Snoop Dogg back to the city for a launch night built around local pride, live music, and a new chapter for entertainment on the waterfront.

For Long Beach, the opening is more than a single concert. It gives the city a new large-scale live music destination at a time when Southern California’s concert calendar continues to expand across Los Angeles County, Orange County, the Inland Empire, and the coast.

Snoop Dogg’s role in the grand opening adds extra weight to the moment. The Long Beach native remains one of the city’s most recognizable cultural figures, with a legacy tied to West Coast hip-hop, VIP Records, and the sound that helped put Long Beach on the global music map.

The new venue is already being positioned as a major stop for touring acts, with upcoming shows listed for artists including Lil Wayne, Ice Cube, Dirty Heads, 311, Mötley Crüe, Toto, and Luke Bryan.

Opening night is expected to bring a major crowd to the waterfront, with fans arriving for both the new venue experience and a hometown performance from Snoop Dogg.
