On Monday, April 20th, from 12 p.m. (PDT) to 5 p.m. (PDT), top artists, comedians and entertainers will make appearances, perform exclusive sets from their homes, and debut new music throughout the live stream, ringing in and celebrating 4:20 in all four U.S. continental time zones.
On the heels of the release of his new record “Contact,” Multi-Platinum selling, Grammy and Golden Globe-nominated recording artist Wiz Khalifa will perform a 20-minute DJ set featuring a selection of his favorite tracks to smoke to, while interacting with fans and celebrating the release of his “The Saga of Wiz Khalifa” EP, which will also be released on April 20th.
