This was evidenced by residents, business leaders, artists, elected officials and visitors from across the country converging on the new waterfront landmark for a celebration that felt equal parts concert, civic gathering and cultural milestone.<\/p>\n<p>Longtime radio personality Gary Gero opened the evening, energizing the crowd and setting the tone for what became a love letter to Long Beach. Rising along the waterfront adjacent to the Queen Mary, the new amphitheater instantly becomes one of the region\u2019s premier outdoor entertainment venues and a centerpiece of Long Beach\u2019s efforts to position itself as a destination for tourism, culture and major events.<\/p>\n<p>Days after Long Beach hosted the U.S. Conference of Mayors, leaders from cities across the country attended the amphitheater\u2019s debut \u2014 including representatives from Atlanta, Sacramento, Richmond, Santa Monica, Fresno, Oklahoma City and San Diego. That collection of leaders once again put Long Beach in the national spotlight.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMayor Rex Richardson has been an incredible host,\u201d said Danny Avula, mayor of Richmond, Virginia. \u201cIt\u2019s been incredible to see the growth of Long Beach.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><ul><div><div><li><div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Snoop Dogg performs at the F&amp;M Bank Amphitheater of Long...\" class=\"wp-image-13043\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/8e178ee937672926a1589864e0b235cc-1024x683.webp\" width=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/8e178ee937672926a1589864e0b235cc-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/8e178ee937672926a1589864e0b235cc-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/8e178ee937672926a1589864e0b235cc-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/8e178ee937672926a1589864e0b235cc-1536x1024.webp 1536w, https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/8e178ee937672926a1589864e0b235cc.webp 1860w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<div>Snoop Dogg performs at the F&amp;M Bank Amphitheater of Long Beach on Saturday, June 6, 2026.

It\u2019s amazing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis could actually be the kind of healing community space that we all need to see in our communities.\u201d<\/p> <div>\n<\/div>\n<p>For Assemblymember Josh Lowenthal, a lifelong Long Beach resident, the venue finally gives the city a stage worthy of its cultural contributions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s so much incredible arts and culture that originates out of Long Beach,\u201d Lowenthal said. \u201cIt\u2019s wonderful to have a venue to showcase it and bring people from surrounding communities here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For years, he said, residents had to travel to Los Angeles or to Orange County to see major concerts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow people can stay here, enjoy world-class entertainment and support our local economy,\u201d Lowenthal said. \u201cEverybody\u2019s excited to be here. And it\u2019s just the beginning.\u201d<\/p> <div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The night also carried a personal connection for him as a graduate of Poly High\u2019s class of 1988. Lowenthal attended school with Calvin Broadus Jr. \u2014 now known as Snoop Dogg.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCalvin Broadus was exactly like Snoop Dogg is today,\u201d Lowenthal said with a laugh. \u201cSame guy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The venue itself represents years of planning and collaboration. Xinyu Yan, the lead designer for architecture firm Gensler, helped bring the project to life, and described opening night as the culmination of years of work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think the whole energy is the most exciting thing,\u201d Yan said. \u201cThis is the first amphitheater I\u2019ve seen grow from the ground up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For Yan, the project reflects Long Beach\u2019s ambition to reclaim its place as a cultural destination.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey really want to bring this music culture back to the city,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Against a backdrop of harbor lights and the Queen Mary, surprise guests emerged to thunderous applause: Dr. Dre, The Lady of Rage, Kurupt, The Eastsidaz and The Twinz \u2014 transforming opening night into a celebration of West Coast hip-hop history.<\/p>\n<p>The crowd responded with the kind of energy usually reserved for championship celebrations. For Anthony Chatmon of Compton, the evening was about more than music.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI remember when Snoop first came out,\u201d Chatmon said. \u201cI enjoy what he\u2019s done for young people. I enjoy what he\u2019s done for the community.\u201d<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=13039\">First came Congress. Now a national redistricting battle may turn to statehouses and city councils<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Nicole Haynes, who grew up nearby and has spent decades visiting Long Beach, said it felt fitting that Snoop headlined the venue\u2019s first show.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s been repping Long Beach from day one,\u201d Haynes said. \u201cThe whole world knows what Long Beach is because of him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Others simply came to experience what makes Long Beach special.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m just trying to catch a vibe,\u201d attendee Morgan Reid said.<\/p>\n<p>Looking around the venue, that vibe was unmistakable. Families sat beside longtime hip-hop fans. Visitors mingled with locals. Multiple generations celebrated together beneath the waterfront lights.<\/p>\n<p>Visual artist and software engineer Saiti, for example, visited from Venice \u2014 and was struck by the diversity surrounding him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLook at the colors of the people here,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s beautiful. Everybody\u2019s one. Everybody can enjoy the music.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Port of Long Beach CEO Mario Cordero said he believes that sense of unity is exactly what makes the project significant.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a game changer for the city,\u201d Cordero said. \u201cIt brings the whole city alive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He compared the amphitheater\u2019s potential impact to other major global events.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust like the Olympics,\u201d he said, \u201cthis amphitheater brings the world and community to our city.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The international appeal was already evident.<\/p>\n<p>Jeremy Lovelace had traveled all the way from England to see Snoop Dogg perform in his hometown and left convinced he had discovered something special.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s my first time in Long Beach and I absolutely love it,\u201d Lovelace said. \u201cIt\u2019s a hidden gem. To see a legend like Snoop perform here in his hometown on opening night is incredible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Looking out across the packed amphitheater, Lovelace said the city had exceeded every expectation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m going to tell everyone back home that Long Beach is where it\u2019s at,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019ll definitely be back. With the Olympics coming, now I want to come back and stay in Long Beach.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Then came the night\u2019s defining moment.<\/p>\n<p>As thousands of cell phone lights illuminated the amphitheater and cheers echoed across the waterfront, Richardson returned to the stage carrying a special honor reserved for those who have left an indelible mark on the city.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTonight, we unveil the Key to the City of Long Beach for Long Beach\u2019s most influential son, who has carried our city around the world,\u201d Richardson told the crowd. \u201cSnoop Dogg, this is your key to our city of Long Beach.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The presentation drew one of the loudest ovations of the evening. Against the backdrop of the harbor, fireworks and a roaring hometown crowd, Long Beach honored the artist who helped place the city on the global map.<\/p>\n<p>As the music faded and concertgoers slowly made their way into the night, the significance of the moment became clear. The opening of the amphitheater was officially a concert, but for Long Beach, it felt like something larger.<\/p>\n<p>A city that has long produced world-class artists, athletes and innovators had built itself a new stage, and on opening night, with mayors from across America and visitors from around the world, surprise appearances from hip-hop royalty, and Snoop Dogg accepting the key to his hometown\u00a0 \u2014 Long Beach showed exactly who it is.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=13032\">DaMarcus Beasley looks back at his record-setting USMNT World Cup journey<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mayor Rex Richardson presented Snoop Dogg with the key to the city.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":13042,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[43,2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13049","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-based-on-facts-either-observed-and-verified-directly-by-the-reporter-or-reported-and-verified-from-knowledgeable-sources","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
