Past visits to Australia
Snoop Dogg has visited Australia several times in the past. His first tussle with the Department of Immigration and Citizenship was in 2007 when the authorities refused him entry to the country based on a failure to meet the 'character test'. Australia's immigration minister, Kevin Andrews, cited the rapper's extensive criminal record, including convictions for drugs and firearms offences, as the reason for the ban. Snoop Dogg had also overstayed a previous visa by two days.
Despite these setbacks, Snoop Dogg was able to perform in Australia in 2014 when he headlined the Big Day Out. This was his most recent performance in the country before his upcoming 2023 tour.
Snoop Dogg's past visits to Australia have been well-received by fans, with the rapper rolling out classic hits sets full of good humour and great vibes. His work on the mic has been consistently on point, and he has delivered some of his greatest hip-hop songs during his performances.
In 2022, Snoop Dogg was forced to cancel his planned Australian tour, but promoters assured fans that he intended to reschedule and return to the country as soon as possible. True to their word, Snoop Dogg announced new dates for early 2023, much to the delight of his multi-generational fanbase.
