1990s rap legend Snoop Dogg is coming to Glasgow to perform his catalogue of hits to fans from throughout the city.
Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr (professionally named Snoop Dogg) is well-known for top songs like Drop It Like It's Hot and for featuring in tunes like Still D.R.E.
This comes as Death Row Record songs, including those by Snoop Dogg, returned to streaming platforms like Apple Music.
Previously, Snoop Dogg removed all of the record label's songs from Spotify and Apple Music after a dispute over the platforms' payment practices.

How to get to the OVO Hydro for the Snoop Dogg concert?
Train: The OVO Hydro has its very own train station, allowing for easy access for Snoop Dogg fans.
