“…An electrifying show. Few in the crowd even touched their seats throughout the performance, dancing and drinking and rapping along — more stadium than philharmonic.”
New York Times
Three decades ago, B‑Real, Sen Dog, and DJ Muggs sparked a trip that left pop culture stoned, stunned, and staggering in anticipation of more. Naming themselves after a local street in Los Angeles, Cypress Hill burst onto the scene in 1991, and since then, they have sold over 20 million albums worldwide, obtaining both platinum and multi-platinum certifications. The biggest Latino group in hip-hop history, with three Grammy nominations, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and countless other awards and accolades, Cypress Hill is a dynamic and groundbreaking group with a singular, legendary sound.
Now, for the 30th anniversary of their famous album Black Sunday, Cypress Hill is continuing to break down musical barriers by bringing their sound on a new journey into the classical space. With 21 new orchestral arrangements of their most iconic songs, from ‘Insane in the Brain’ to ‘Dr. Greenthumb,’ Cypress Hill: Symphonic demonstrates the depth and quality of their music in a brand new and completely original concert experience.
Polyarts are excited to be partnering with manager Deb Klein at Primary Wave Music and agent Scott Thomas at X‑ray Touring on this unique concert series. The production has already begun its world takeover, performing for major audiences in the US with the Colorado and San Diego Symphonies in summer 2023, with upcoming concerts in Portland and Nashville.
Polyarts, alongside agent Scott Thomas at X‑Ray Touring, are responsible for the UK, European, and ROW territories, excluding North America.

“There was limitless good-natured fun here… “Destiny fulfilled,” beamed the shades-wearing B‑Real at the last. In extraordinary circumstances, to be sure.”
“Whether the show writers can predict the future or not…For Cypress Hill, at least, they feel tonight’s show has been their destiny.”
“What started as a joke on an episode of The Simpsons culminates in a spectacular orchestral reimagining of seminal West Coast hip hop.”
“Cypress Hill managed to pull off a genuinely fresh, excitingand likely legendary performance. The cameras around the stage indicate that thankfully the night was filmed for posterity, but for those lucky enough to be there in person, it will be hard to beat that feeling.”
