He will also include a selection of classic hits from his 19-year career as part of the concert's setlist.

Snoop Dogg will precede the autumn weekend shows with summer festival appearances, including a headline slot at this weekend's Lovebox music event in London.

The 39-year-old's new single 'Boom', which features T-Pain, will be released in the UK on July 18.
