“UP IN SMOKE” TOUR FEATURING CHEECH & CHONG AND WAR – OCTOBER 24th
The Up In Smoke co-headlining tour with CHEECH & CHONG and WAR, is burning its way to Fantasy Springs Resort Casino on Friday, October 24th.
The night has WAR hits and CHEECH & CHONG’s outrageous and hilarious comedy all on the same stage in an interactive musical and comical showcase. The Up In Smoke tour is a complete integration of WAR’s timeless catalogue, and CHEECH & CHONG’s no authority brand of comedy and music. WAR will perform hit after hit such as “Why Can’t We Be Friends,” “Low Rider” and “Cisco Kid,” with the show progressing into a combination of Cheech and Chong’s most infamous songs (backed up by WAR), such as “Earache My Eye,” “Basketball Jones ” and “Mexican Americans” and some of their most iconic comedic skits such as “ Dave’s Not Here”, “Santa Clause and His Magic Dust” and “Sister Mary Elephant.”
In conjunction with the tour, WAR released their first new studio album in 20 years, titled EVOLUTIONARY. Featuring special guest collaborations with CHEECH & CHONG, Tower of Power, Joe Walsh, Malik Yusef, and the USC Marching Band, EVOLUTIONARY showcases WAR’s multi-ethnic lineup and genre-defying style, combining jazz, rock, funk, soul, R&B and Latin.
CHEECH & CHONG’s first film, “Up In Smoke,” was the highest grossing comedy of 1978 and topped $100 million at the box office. In 2009, the duo made history when comedy partners Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong announced their first reunion tour in more than 25 years, selling out shows from coast to coast. Multi-platinum-selling WAR, the original street band, has been sharing its timeless music and message of brotherhood and harmony for more than four decades to millions across the globe.
