Now, Dr. Dre says he wants to continue the surge of success overseas [by launching a multiartist tour of Europe. ](http://pitchfork.com/news/61597-dr-dre-says-he-wants-to-tour-europe-with-kendrick-lamar-eminem-snoop-dogg/ "undefined") _Pitchfork_ reports that Dr. Dre wants to “take his ideas” across the pond alongside a coterie of his former students — namely Snoop Dogg, Eminem and relative newcomer Kendrick Lamar. He’d call this ideal tour “Beats and Rhymes.” “I’m 30 years in the game right now and I’ve never been able to take my full production over to Europe,” Dr. Dre said on his latest show on Beats 1, the Internet radio service. “Me and Snoop — we’ve been over there. Me and Eminem have been over there, but it’s just been spot dates and taking a microphone over there with a DJ. I’ve never had the opportunity to take the full production over there.” Snoop Dogg, his guest on the show, said that the tour sounded like “Woodstock on steroids” — or “Hoodstock,” he riffed. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4071019/dr-dre-europe-tour-beats-rhymes/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4071019/dr-dre-europe-tour-beats-rhymes/"},"headline":"Dr. Dre Wants to Tour Europe With Snoop Dogg, Eminem and Kendrick Lamar","datePublished":"2015-10-13T06:48:58.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T11:44:12.560Z","description":"Snoop Dogg says the tour would be like \"Woodstock on steroids\" — or \"Hoodstock\"","url":"https://time.com/4071019/dr-dre-europe-tour-beats-rhymes/","keywords":["Music","rap","Dr. Dre","Kendrick Lamar","Eminem","entertainment","Snoop Dogg"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta77fce3ccfc29af3/698868002dce012d7e9e5fc4/ap66721611819.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Nash Jenkins","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/p-nash-jenkins/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blta77fce3ccfc29af3/698868002dce012d7e9e5fc4/ap66721611819.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Dr. Dre","caption":"Dr. Dre","creditText":"John Salangsang—Invision/AP","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4071019/dr-dre-europe-tour-beats-rhymes/","name":"Dr. Dre Wants to Tour Europe With Snoop Dogg, Eminem and Kendrick Lamar"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Giorgio Moroder Describes the Perfect Pop Dance Song","description":"At the age of 74, electronic music producer Giorgio Moroder is releasing his first album in three decades.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/J4PWndMR/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-02-06T22:07:47.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/J4PWndMR.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4071019/dr-dre-europe-tour-beats-rhymes/","duration":"PT1M15S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4071019/dr-dre-europe-tour-beats-rhymes/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
