In support of the new N.W.A. biopic Straight Outta Compton, the surviving members of the hip hop group will be performing live together for the first time in 26 years! While the film comes out on August 14th, Ice Cube is hosting an all-star performance at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on June 27th.

The performance will include DJ Yella and MC Ren, as well as additional supporting sets from Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, and ScHoolboy Q. While Dr. Dre, who co-produced the movie, is not officially announced, Ice Cube did certainly imply that he will be included, saying “You know, if you wish upon a star, you never know.”
The performance is actually just a single day in a local festival entitled “BET Experience at L.A. Live, Presented by Coca-Cola,” which will be held between June 25-28. Nicki Minaj, Kevin Hart, and the Roots are all included in the lineup, and tickets and information is available here.
