| Performance Notes | 28 years after The Simpsons first made the joke, Cypress Hill are now finally set to share a stage with the London Symphony Orchestra, performing a special rendition of the hip hop collectives revered album Black Sunday as well as other hits from their extensive back-catalogue.
In 1996, one of the most-watched TV shows in the world, The Simpsons, joked that Cypress Hill had accidentally booked a gig with the London Symphony Orchestra while under the influence. Now, the running joke that has turned into countless hopeful moments for fans of Cypress Hill and The Simpsons, is becoming an exciting, dynamic reality.
Cypress Hill will be joined onstage by the world-renowned London Symphony Orchestra, with Troy Miller conducting unique orchestral arrangements of the bands most iconic songs including Insane in the Brain and I Wanna Get High. Cypress Hill received critical acclaim last year performing three symphonic shows across the US, but this show marks the first time they will take to the stage with LSO, a partnership that has been nearly 30 years in the making.
One of hip hops biggest ever acts, Cypress Hill soundtracked a generation and continue to inspire artists and audiences alike. They have sold over 20 million albums worldwide, with their magnum opus LP Black Sunday regularly cited as one of the greatest hip hop albums of all time which debuted at #1 on Billboards Top 200, garnered three GRAMMY Award nominations, and went triple platinum in the U.S. upon release. |
