Mount Westmore Brings West Coast Hip Hop Legends to Glendale This August
- Mount Westmore supergroup brings Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, E‑40, Too $hort, and special guest DJ Quik to Glendale’s Desert Diamond Arena for a one‑night West Coast hip‑hop celebration on Aug. 28.
When the West Coast meets the West Valley, you clear your calendar. On Friday, August 28, legendary hip‑hop supergroup Mount Westmore—Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, E‑40 and Too $hort—brings decades of West Coast anthems to Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale.
Billed as four legends, one stage, the Mount Westmore stop at Desert Diamond Arena is one of the marquee hip‑hop events on the Valley’s late‑summer concert calendar, with additional show details available via Live Nation. The show is scheduled for 8 p.m., with doors opening at 7 p.m., giving fans plenty of time to beat rush‑hour traffic on the 101 and settle in before the first bassline drops.
The lineup reads like a crash course in West Coast rap history. Snoop Dogg remains one of the genre’s most recognizable voices, from his early days with Death Row Records to his pop‑culture ubiquity across TV, film and sports. Ice Cube’s catalog spans his N.W.A roots, classic solo albums and big‑screen career, while Bay Area icons E‑40 and Too $hort bring their own deep discographies and distinct regional styles to the mix. Together, Mount Westmore functions like an all‑star team, trading verses on each other’s hits and packing a festival’s worth of nostalgia into one night.
Special guest DJ Quik is set to open the evening, which should only add to the throwback party atmosphere. For longtime hip‑hop fans, the combination of Quik’s production chops and Mount Westmore’s combined catalog is a rare chance to hear some of the most influential West Coast tracks performed back‑to‑back in an arena setting; you can get a taste of the energy in Desert Diamond Arena’s promo post on Instagram.
Desert Diamond Arena has leaned into major hip‑hop and R&B bookings in recent years, and this show continues that trend while giving Glendale and the West Valley their own night with artists who usually headline festivals or stadium tours. If you grew up with these records—or still have them in regular rotation—this is about as close as it gets to a living West Coast greatest‑hits playlist.
Tickets are on sale now through Ticketmaster, with prices starting around the upper double‑digits depending on seat location. Given the star power on the bill and the social‑media buzz already building around the date, fans will want to lock in their seats sooner rather than later.
