Speaking of summer, we’re now 106 days away from the first show at the Long Beach Amphitheater this July \u2014 assuming it opens on schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The concert lineup is filling up quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week, the venue announced that Lil Wayne, The Game and 2 Chainz will play a show<\/a> at the 11,000-seat venue on Saturday, Aug. 1. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In recent weeks, Los \u00c1ngeles Azules and Nas & The Roots have also joined a concert slate that includes Luke Bryan, Toto and M\u00f6tley Cr\u00fce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
