Call Of Duty XP Will Feature Snoop Dogg And Whiz Khalifa Peformance
Call of Duty XP attendees prep your eye drops. Rappers Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa will be at the Los Angeles convention to celebrate all things Call of Duty past, present, and future with a special performance to close out the event, Activision announced Friday.
The convention kicks off on Friday, September 2, and runs through Sunday, September 4. Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa will hit the stage on the final day at The Forum in Inglewood, California to close out the Call of Duty XP show.
The two performers are currently touring together as part of the High Road Tour. The tour represents their first ever joint set while out on the road.
Those that have not gotten their tickets to Call of Duty XP will still have a chance to attend. Activision has released a limited number of tickets to Ticketmaster with this announcement.

Prices start at $48 to gain general admission access to all three days of the Call of Duty World League Championship plus the Call of Duty XP gameplay and activities. The $129 Veteran Ticket adds an $80 digital Legacy edition of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare plus a swag package. The Prestige Ticket is $199 and grants VIP treatment with play meet-and-greets, access to the VIP lounge, a parking pass, premium seating, the $100 Digital Deluxe Edition of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, plus plenty of swag.
“Call of Duty XP is the ultimate Call of Duty fan experience,” said Rob Kostich, EVP and general manager, Call of Duty, Activision. “From the game reveals led by Infinite Warfare multiplayer to the Call of Duty-inspired live experiences to the $2 million Call of Duty Championship finale, there’s something for everyone. It’s going to be an amazing time for our fans, even more so now with Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa there to cap this epic, multi-day event.”
Those that can’t attend Call of Duty XP 2016 can still watch it via livestreams. The Call of Duty channels on Twitch and YouTube will both showcase select events from fan event, as well as the Call of Duty World League Championship.
Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare’s multiplayer will be playable for the first time following a world premiere event at the convention, while the recently revealed Zombies in Spaceland co-op experience will be ready for attendees to go retro 80s with. Additionally, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered will be on hand for players to check out its revamped multiplayer. It should be interesting to see the contrasts between the remastered game that blew up Call of Duty’s popularity versus the state of the multiplayer nearly a decade later.
Additionally, Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 fourth and final DLC, Salvation, will be playable at the event. Activision plans to have more than 500 gameplay stations installed at the XP event for fans to partake in the action of Infinite Warfare, Modern Warfare, and Black Ops 3.
A PlayStation VR experience will also be available on-site. Fans will be able to try to pilot the Jackal fighter jet from Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare using Sony’s VR headset for the PS4.
Other activities include developer panels and Q&As with Infinity Ward, Treyarch, and Sledgehammer Games, a Call of Duty armory and museum, photo booths, Nuketown paintball, and Zombies in Spaceland laser tag.
