Snoop Dogg is trading G‑funk for giggles this summer, joining forces with the KIDZ BOP Live Certified BOP Tour and lending his voice to Spin Master’s upcoming feature “PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie.”

Beginning June 14 in Stamford, Connecticut, and running through Sept. 7 in Houston, Texas, the 28‑city KIDZ BOP tour will now kick off each night with a live performance of “Doggyland,” Dogg’s animated YouTube series for preschoolers. Created in 2022, “Doggyland” follows Bow Wizzle and a colorful cast of puppies who rap and sing about letters, numbers, colors and social‑emotional skills.

“‘Doggyland’ and KIDZ BOP are teamin’ up for a special tour like no other,” Snoop Dogg said in a release touting the collaboration. “We’re takin’ our animated world and bringing it to life, ya dig? We invite little kids, big kids, mamas, daddies, uncles, aunties — to join us for life lessons and some family fun. When ‘Doggyland’ links with KIDZ BOP, it’s a musical journey you will never forget.”

KIDZ BOP, which claims to be the No. 1 music brand for kids since 2001, will feature its young stars — Aleah, Cliff, Matty and Shila — performing kid‑friendly versions of today’s hits like “Espresso” and “Hot to Go!” on a stage complete with interactive elements and the return of the Daddy Dance Off.

“We’re excited to have ‘Doggyland’ join the KIDZ BOP Live Certified BOP Tour this summer as our special show opener,” added Sasha Junk, president of KIDZ BOP. “Their hip‑hop spin on classic kids’ songs — especially the viral ‘Affirmations Song’— will add fresh energy to our live events.”

Meanwhile, Dogg is also expanding his family‑friendly portfolio on the big screen. He joins a star‑studded ensemble — Jameela Jamil, Terry Crews, Paris Hilton, Bill Nye, Meredith MacNeill and Ron Pardo — in “PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie." The third theatrical installment of the animated franchise follows the rescue pups on a prehistoric adventure and is set to drop July 31, 2026.
