Guerilla Union has announced the first annual DR. GREENTHUMB’S SPRING GATHERING May 8 at the NOS Events Center in San Bernardino, CA. The event will launch as an epic cannabis culture experience encompassing a music festival and medical marijuana expo featuring METHOD MAN & REDMAN KOTTONMOUTH KINGS, plus performances by REBELUTION, FISHBONE, HED PE and SUPERNATURAL. B-Real of Cypress Hill is excited to get this event off the ground, “I am thrilled to have my own platform to promote medical marijuana and legalization. This event is just the beginning of many efforts that will support California’s budding medical marijuana industry.”
The inaugural DR. GREENTHUMB’S SPRING GATHERING will serve to create awareness around the cannabis counter-culture while highlighting world-class live music. This will be METHOD MAN & REDMAN’s first headlining festival performance on the west coast in 2010. Hip Hop’s dynamic stoner duo are the perfect ambassadors for the inaugural launch because they have been supporting the legalization of medical marijuana for nearly 20 years. Co-headliner KOTTONMOUTH KINGS are slated for an exclusive performance featuring songs from their new record Long Live the Kings, scheduled for an April 20th release. DR. GREENTHUMB’S SPRING GATHERING will also serve as the group’s official Southern California album release party. Santa Barbara’s Cali-Reggae juggernaut, Rebelution will make a rare Southern California festival appearance. Guerilla Union’s Chang Weisberg is proud to announce, “We really needed to develop this platform in the Spring. Now, we can have a year-round program (along with Cypress Hill’s SmokeOut in the Fall) that supports our medical marijuana efforts. Music is a powerful tool that will help spread our movement and help B-Real realize his medical marijuana and legalization dreams.”
In addition to the music portion, fans can experience the SPRING GATHERING Medical Marijuana Expo which includes the infamous V.I.P. (Very Important Pot smoker) private party and a glass art showcase. DR. GREENTHUMB AND B-REAL OF CYPRESS HILL will be hosting the day-long event. B-Real will be the keynote speaker of the expo where he will be sharing his opinions and expertise on California’s medical marijuana legislation. In addition, he will be performing material from his solo album SMOKE N MIRRORS. There will also be a wide range of guest speakers and celebrity appearances focused on cannabis education, legal workshops and grow tips, in addition to massive munchie gardens, vendor village and surprise performances. A full schedule of activities will be unveiled in the coming days.
Ticket pre-sale begins March 19th at 12noon for one day only. On-sale to the general public is scheduled for March 20th at 10am. Visit www.springgathering.com to sign up for a newsletter, up to date information, and festival updates.
