With over 30 years in the business, Cypress Hill holds a unique status on the international scene, especially due to their (acknowledged) connection to cannabis. Formed in 1988 by B-Real, Sen Dog, Eric Bobo, and DJ Muggs, Cypress Hill emerged from South Gate, California, as pioneers of West Coast sound and Latin rap. They quickly distinguished themselves globally with their unique production – dark, psychedelic, and with an unmistakable "stoned" atmosphere. Their lyrics openly addressed cannabis culture.
Worldwide recognition arrived in 1993 with the album "Black Sunday," which included the generational anthem "Insane in the Brain" and earned them a Grammy nomination. The band not only sold millions of albums, but was also one of the first to fuse hip-hop with rock, cementing their status as living legends of urban music and counterculture.
This performance at Rock in Rio Lisboa 2026 marks Cypress Hill's return to Portugal, following their last visit in 2018, where they headlined the Meo Stage at the Sudoeste Festival in Zambujeira do Mar. In what was one of the most anticipated concerts of the edition, Cypress Hill once again demonstrated their contagious energy and the power of their timeless classics, reinforcing the strong connection they maintain with the Portuguese public.
