INCUBUS HEADLINES CYPRESS HILL SMOKEOUT

With a marijuana legalization bill on the ballot in November, it's
only fitting that Cypress Hill and Guerilla Union would partner with
marijuana advocacy group Americans for Safe Access for this year's
Cypress Hill Smokeout.

Slated to cloud San Bernardino's NOS Events Center on Oct. 16, the
annual event features an array of groups united by their ardor for
what Cypress Hill so aptly captured on "Hits from the Bong." In their
only North American performance of the season, Incubus take the
headlining spot, but the organizers have wrangled an impressive
undercard including Distant Relatives (Nas + Damian Marley), Manu
Chao, MGMT, Atmosphere, Living Legends, Slightly Stoopid, Living
Colour and Deadmau5 (performing "unhooked"). Of course, the legendary
South Gate trio of B-Real, Sen Dog and DJ Muggs will take the stage,
performing their 1991 classic, "Cypress Hill," in its entirety.

The organizers promise more special announcements in the coming
weeks, with a lineup totaling 20 acts scattered across three stages.
In addition, the all-day festival features a full-scale medical
marijuana expo, which the press release touts as "the ultimate
destination for advocates, businesses, consumers and like-minded
individuals to congregate and interact." The expo will also boast
various exhibits centered on legalization and education, with
promises of "expert panel discussions, guest speakers and celebrity
appearances." The odds of a Cheech and/or Chong sighting are high.

If you're insensate to the charms of Slightly Stoopid, there will
also be a 4:20 movie night screening "classic cannabis-themed films."
And yes, if you were wondering, there will be a "massive munchie gardens."

Tickets go on sale Saturday.
