    I like to think that someone dedicated their life to mastering an instrument so they can be part of the London Symphony orchestra, just to get this to happen.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    A Simpsons joke that aired during an episode in 1996 will become reality after almost three decades, as rap group Cypress Hill announce a gig with the London Symphony Orchestra.

    The hit animated series featured the California hip-hop group in the episode “Homerpalooza”, in which Homer Simpson takes his family on a road trip to an alternative rock festival, Hullabalooza, in an attempt to prove to his kids Bart and Lisa that he’s “still cool”.

    In an episode highlight, a roadie appears backstage to demand which of the artists on the bill booked the London Symphony Orchestra.

    After the episode first aired, Cypress Hill fans kept up the rumour that the group would eventually perform with the LSO in real life.

    The group have now confirmed that they will, in fact, perform with the orchestra at the Royal Albert Hall in London on 10 July.

    Kathryn McDowell DBE, the LSO’s Managing Director said: “After years of social media teasing it, many fans may have started to believe it would only be a pipedream – but the LSO is delighted to finally be joining Cypress Hill on stage and in person, and look forward to creating an unforgettable musical moment!
