Pioneering West Coast hip-hop group Cypress Hill swapped out their signature bucket hats and baseball caps for tuxedos and pocket squares on Wednesday, Oct. 18, while performing with the Oregon Symphony.

This year, the artists mark the 30th anniversary of their second studio album, Black Sunday, which topped the Billboard 200 upon release and went triple platinum.

Some fans donned clothing that paid tribute to the record’s graveyard cover art and cannabis-championing raps—shirts emblazoned with both skulls and pot leaves were spotted at Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall that evening.
