Merry Jane Presents the High Road Summer Tour featuring Snoop Dogg, Wiz Khalifa, Kevin Gates, Jhene Aiko and Casey Veggies
PNC Music Pavilion
July 24, 2016
After Sunday night, a sarcastic person might bet that there's no weed left in North Carolina. An absolutely packed lawn at PNC Music Pavilion appeared as if it was on fire as smoke billowed above the sea of people. What else would you expect from a tour that features Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa as its headliners?
Hip-hop's ambassadors of pot were the clear draw for the Merry Jane Presents the High Road Summer Tour, which also featured Kevin Gates, Jhene Aiko and Casey Veggies. While the first three acts came and went in straight-forward fashion, it was the primetime duo that everyone was waiting for.
With a huge blunt in hand, Snoop Dogg took the stage and performed a couple of hits before letting Wiz Khalifa do the same. It was an odd dichotomy for anyone who might be a fan of one more than the other — you could sing along and get in the groove, and then wait for a few songs and do it again. Somehow though, it worked. Khalifa brought plenty of energy and Snoop's laid back demeanor offered a good balance — no weed required.
