In what is being hailed as the most anticipated hip-hop event of the decade, global icons Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, and 50 Cent have officially announced their joint 2026 World Tour. The powerhouse quartet, often dubbed the “Avengers of Rap,” will embark on a massive 32-date run spanning North America, Europe, and Australia, delivering a career-spanning celebration of their unparalleled legacies.
The announcement, made simultaneously across the artists’ social media channels and confirmed by promoters Live Nation, marks the first time these four legends – bound by Dr. Dre’s production genius and intertwined careers – will co-headline a full world tour. Fans have been erupting online, with posts screaming “It’s getting SO CLOSE!” as pre-sale links go live and venues prepare for record-breaking demand.
Kicking off in Los Angeles at SoFi Stadium in May 2026, the tour promises explosive sets blending classics like “Still D.R.E.,” “In Da Club,” “The Next Episode,” “Lose Yourself,” and “Gin & Juice” with surprise collaborations and never-before-seen live renditions. Sources close to the production hint at holographic elements nodding to past performances and potential guest appearances from Aftermath and Shady Records alumni.
This reunion echoes their iconic 2022 Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show, where Dre, Snoop, Eminem, and 50 Cent (joined by Mary J. Blige and Kendrick Lamar) delivered one of the most viewed performances in history, drawing over 120 million viewers. That 13-minute medley reignited calls for a full tour, and now, four years later, it’s becoming reality.
Dr. Dre, the architect behind much of the group’s success, hasn’t toured extensively since the legendary 2000 Up in Smoke Tour – which featured Eminem, Snoop, and Ice Cube, grossing over $24 million. His health scare in 2021 raised doubts, but his triumphant return at the Super Bowl and recent studio work signal he’s ready to command stages once more.
Eminem, fresh off critically acclaimed albums and rare live appearances, brings his razor-sharp lyricism and high-energy delivery. Long reluctant to extensive touring due to family commitments, insiders say this limited-run spectacle convinced him to join, emphasizing quality over quantity.
Snoop Dogg, the ever-charismatic West Coast king, adds his laid-back flow and party anthems, promising smoke-filled vibes (where venue rules allow) and his signature humor. His recent ventures into beverages and media make him the perfect bridge between eras.
50 Cent, riding high from his Final Lap Tour’s $100+ million gross in 2023, injects street grit and entrepreneurial flair. Known for hits that defined the 2000s, he’ll undoubtedly hype crowds with tracks from *Get Rich or Die Tryin’*.
