Snoop Dogg’s Auckland Show Canceled Days Before Performance

The announcement followed widespread reporting that identified promoter Pato Alvarez after the Supreme Court ended his name suppression.

Overview

  • Promoter 4ward Entertainment said the 20 September Auckland concert was canceled due to circumstances beyond its control.
  • Ticket refunds will be issued automatically through Eventfinda within two to five days, according to the promoter.
  • The R18 show at Manukau’s Due Drop Events Centre had been billed as a hits set plus a DJ Snoopadelic performance, with local artist Savage slated to open.
  • Local organizer Pato Alvarez previously confirmed he was behind the event; court records show 2023 convictions on two charges and a 12‑month home‑detention sentence.
  • The Supreme Court of New Zealand recently rejected Alvarez’s bid for name suppression, news outlets reported his identity, and Snoop Dogg’s team has not commented publicly.
