(8/20/01, 6 p.m. ET) - The Cypress Hill Smoke Out Festival has added one more show--Hawaii on October 14. The tour already includes dates in the New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco areas. Fear Factory, Redman, Busta Rhymes, Long Beach Dub Allstars, Method Man, Suicidal Tendencies, Afroman, Erick Sermon & Keith Murray, Kottonmouth Kings, NoFX, Armand Van Helden, and DJ Sneak have all been added to the roster, which is of course organized around Cypress Hill. More acts will be announced in the coming weeks, possibly including the Deftones.
The Cypress Hill Smoke Out Festival is on the road for the first time, playing Holmdel, New Jersey at the PNC Bank Arts Center September 29; Devore, California (Los Angeles) at the Glen Helen Blockbuster Pavilion on October 6; and San Francisco (Oakland, California) at the Oakland Coliseum on October 13, in addition to the aforementioned Hawaii date at Kualoa Ranch.
It's the fourth installment of the Cypress Hill Smoke Out Festival, and the band's B-Real said in a statement: "We're trying to start small. We know we've got something good, but we don't want to spread it out too much right now. We're doing three markets this year, and maybe next year we'll do five or 10."
