[edit] Background
The tour was originally dubbed the Chronic 2000 Tour, under the pretext of Dr. Dre's album initially expected to be titled The Chronic 2000,[1] with Snoop Dogg stating "Yeah, me, Dr. Dre, Eminem, Xzibit, Warren G, and Nate Dogg," in September, 1999.[2] By April, 2000, Ice Cube was onboard as part of the tour, which was slated for a June 15 in San Diego. MC Ren, one time MC of N.W.A, was expected to join the tour in order to have reunited version of N.W.A, along with Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, and Snoop Dogg.[3] By May, the tour officially became known as the Up In Smoke Tour[4] and Dr. Dre also stated "It's gonna be incredible. We're gonna give everybody that's been buying our records a real show, something they've never seen before."[5]
By June, the month that the tour began to kick off, plans were finalised with Kurupt joining the tour. It was decided that he would start the opening set, which would be followed by Warren G and Xzibit, then Ice Cube would take the third spot whilst Eminem would take the fourth set. Dr. Dre would be the final set, with collaborations including Snoop Dogg and the N.W.A reunion taking place during this segment. Also, surprise guests were promised during various shows.[6]
