The day will feature performances from Snoop Dogg, Cypress Hill, Travis Barker (with Mix Master Mike), Stephen Marley, and Collie Buddz (more performers to be announced). Aside from that all-star lineup, here’s a key line to keep in mind: “Guerilla Union and Medicine and Music Project will be providing a safe and secure onsite consumption area for medical marijuana patients.” Nuff said. Pre-Sale for tickets begins tomorrow, while tickets for the general public will be on sale Saturday (find out more info at their site). OKP is giving away two pairs of tickets to the gathering to two lucky winners.
