Oh, but really, come on: stop pretending like you’re not totally interested. Don’t try to play the hipster-irony card here. NSFW or otherwise, you clicked on this headline for a reason, buddy. Let’s go.
Yes, there’s a thing called The Smoker’s Club. And yes, among other things, they have an annual festival thing that they do. This is actually the fifth one. Yeah. And HELL YES, this year’s headlining guests of honor are none other than multi-platinum motherfucking recording artists and international super-emblems of all things dank and chill and green and mellow, Method Man and Redman. Hell yes.
The tour gets underway October 14 in Providence, RI, after which it will, ya know, billow and curlicue its way through 37(!) cities in the U.S., ultimately wrapping up in November in New York City. Aside from your boys Method and Red, the tour will feature the likes of Cypress Hill’s B-Real, Taylor Gang’s Berner, and “cinematic artist” Mick Jenkins.
“Method Man and Redman have been staples in my playlists since I can remember,” says Smokers Club founder Jonny Shipes. “I have probably smoked 5 lbs of weed listening to their music & watching How High on repeat during my life, LOL. It was a no brainer & honor to have them headline this year’s tour.” Yes, LOL is really part of the quote. Come on, now, don’t be an asshole. In fact, be the opposite of one of those and go get yourself some tickets to this thing that they go specifically out of their way to call “the world’s largest traveling hotbox” right over here. You know you’ve got your credit card ready. Also, holy shit, REMEMBER THAT MOVIE?!
