Yes it is true and the title is not a mistake. The late Nate Dogg will be performing at this year’s Coachella Music Festival this weekend during Dr. Dre’s set.
The rapper, who passed away last March from complications of multiple strokes, will be projected onto the stage thanks to the same holographic technology that allowed Mariah Carey to broadcast her image simultaneously at five European concerts last year.
Check out this video from Mariah Carey’s holographic performance:
TMZ reports that fellow rappers Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Kurupt, Warren G, and Daz Dillinger will join Nate Dogg’s holographic image on the Coachella stage .
Nate Dogg is expected to perform a short set which could include, but not be limited to, “Never Leave Me Alone ft. Snoop Dogg,” “Nobody Does It Better ft. Warren G,” Warren G’s “I Need A Light,” Snoop Dogg’s “Boss’s Life” and Dr. Dre’s “The Next Episode.”
The Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival will take place in Indio, CA the weekends of April 13-15 and April 20-22.
