Lovebox date for Snoop Dogg

Rap star Snoop Dogg is to play his only UK festival show by headlining the Lovebox event in London this summer.

He will reunite with his crew Tha Dogg Pound to perform debut album 'Doggystyle' - which featured hit single 'What’s My Name?' – at the event in July.

It will be the first time the album has been performed live in its entirety since its release in 1993, according to organisers.

Other acts playing the three-day festival include Scissor Sisters, Kelis, Blondie and Lykke Li.
