Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa will join forces for an Aug. 12 show at DTE Energy Music Theatre — part of a run the two cannabis-loving kindred spirits have dubbed the High Road Summer Tour.

Tickets for the DTE date are $22-$121 and will go on sale at noon Friday via Ticketmaster. The 33-city tour will also feature Kevin Gates, Jhene Aiko, Casey Veggies and DJ Drama.

For Snoop and Khalifa, the co-headlining tour is the latest in a series of collaborations that have included the 2011 film and soundtrack "Mac & Devin Go to High School" along with hits such as "Young, Wild & Free" and "You and Your Friends."

More hip-hop is in store at the Fox Theatre, which will host an old-school night of head-to-head rap, performed in four musical bouts: Uncle Luke-vs.-Juvenile, Lil' Kim-vs.-Trina, Scarface-vs.-Too Short and the Lox-vs.-E-40.

The Hip Hop Smackdown will play the Fox on May 28, with tickets ($49-$125) going on sale at 10 a.m. Saturday through Ticketmaster, along with the Fox and Joe Louis Arena box offices.
