Cypress Hill and London Symphony Orchestra’s Royal Albert Hall show to be released as live album

Cypress Hill and London Symphony Orchestra’s July 2024 performance at Royal Albert Hall will be released as a live album and get a limited-time cinema release.

‘Black Sunday Live at the Royal Albert Hall’, out 6th June, will preserve the legendary California hip-hop group’s one-night-only concert at the historic London venue where they performed Cypress Hill’s starmaking 1991 debut album with the storied orchestral ensemble. (The collaboration made a 28-year-old Simpsons joke with cameos from the group with the orchestra come to life.)

“It’s a trip to see that hip hop can be done in this form — and at a venue as prestigious as the Royal Albert Hall,” Cypress Hill co-founder B-Real said in a press statement. “It was truly an honor and a privilege, and now that experience can be shared.”

The 10th July, 2024 Royal Albert Hall show will also be accessible to a wider audience as a feature-length concert film with a limited-run cinema release. Select cinemas in North America will screen the special ‘Black Sunday’ orchestral performance from 30th March through 1st April. 

More ‘Black Sunday’ live album and concert film information will be available here.
