Snoop Dogg is coming to the Port City of Wilmington, NC to perform at the 2016 Azalea Festival.

Officials say Snoop will take to the Belk Main Stage on Friday, April 8 with opening act Doug E. Fresh.

“Snoop Dogg is an icon in the evolution of hip-hop and of our generation. His fame extends out of the music business; as an actor his laid back personality has endeared him to many outside the hip-hop industry,” said Robby Collins, president of the North Carolina Azalea Festival.
