#SPOTTED: ICE CUBE IN TORONTO FOR TORONTO FESTIVAL OF BEER 2023
Brought to us by The Beer Store, Toronto’s Festival of Beer is back this weekend and headlining is Hip-Hop icon ICE CUBE at CNE‘s Bandshell Park. The Festival celebrating Toronto’s love of lager (and more!) reunites the City again against a backdrop of food and great live entertainment. In addition to Ice Cube, other acts like Big Boi (Outkast), Third Eye Blind, Ruby Waters and T-Pain will grace the stage at the outdoor affair.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer not only reached legendary status as a member of iconic Rap Outfit N.W.A., but achieved incredible success as a Solo Artist throughout the ’90s. He also has achieved much success as an Actor starring in popular titles like Boyz n the Hood, Anaconda, the xXx and Barbershop franchises and more. He even was portrayed even by his own son Oshea Jackson Jr. in heavily-acclaimed 2015 feature Straight Outta Compton. He next will be featured in the Voice Cast of already critically-acclaimed TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES: MUTANT MAYHEM, out August 2, 2023.
We had the amazing honour of meeting Ice Cube and he was incredibly gracious to fans despite a long wait getting through to the City for his gig. He stopped to sign vinyls and I was so lucky to get a Selfie and he even gave me a couple cracks at it! A legend.
