Cypress Hill announce concert with London Symphony Orchestra at Royal Albert Hall
Nearly 30 years after The Simpsons famously predicted it, Cypress Hill have announced that they will share a stage with the London Symphony Orchestra on 10 July.
In its 1996, “Homerpalooza” episode, The Simpsons, joked that Cypress Hill had accidentally booked a gig with the London Symphony Orchestra while under the influence. After years of fans hoping for such a collaboration to become reality, Cypress Hill reached out to the LSO over social media and so history will finally be made. The show will see Cypress Hill performing songs from their revered album, Black Sunday, as well as other hits from their extensive back-catalogue.
“We are thrilled to be performing with the London Symphony Orchestra in such a prestigious venue as the Royal Albert Hall. It’s a dream come true, a collaboration only The Simpsons could have predicted," Cypress Hill said.
“After years of social media teasing it, many fans may have started to believe it would only be a pipedream – but the LSO is delighted to finally be joining Cypress Hill on stage and in person, and look forward to creating an unforgettable musical moment! Many thanks to the creators of The Simpsons for the idea and to AEG Artisitc and PolyArts for making it all happen," Kathryn McDowell DBE, the LSO’s Managing Director added.
The show will take place at London’s Royal Albert Hall on 10 July. Tickets are on sale from 10am on Wednesday 27 March at AEGPresents.co.uk.
