DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES — A reunited five-member Bone Thugs-N-Harmony will be making its way to the stage at Club Nokia on Friday, June 26, and we've got tickets for you to attend the show courtesy of Goldenvoice.
The band formed in the early 1990s, and won a GRAMMY in 1997 for its song "Tha Crossroads." The single, dedicated to Eazy-E, sold over two million copies.
Friday's show reprises a November 30 performance by the five original members of the band, their first show together in a decade.
Opening is Watts-born rapper Jay Rock.
We've got five pairs of tickets to give away, and one special grand prize winner will get a chance to meet the band. Just leave a comment saying why you should win, and make sure to log in via Facebook or leave an email so that we can contact you. Contest closes at 6pm on Thursday.

Thats cool that theyre re-uniting! I love the way this group incorporates melodies into all their songs. In the mid to late 90s their cds were always in my car. Favorites are First of the month, thuggish-ruggish bone, for the love of money...sounds like this is a reunion performance. Would be really cool to check it out!

I am a huge bone thugs fan... I have been in Los Angeles the last four years at school, and on Saturday morning I am leaving to drive back to Chicago. This is my very last night here in los angeles and would be an amazing way to end it. I spent so much money on school that I cant afford tickets, so this would really be an awesome gift. Thanks so much for reading this

I am an old fan of this group, and am stoked they'll be here on Friday. I think it would be a great surprise for my bf if I won some tix. He was a huge fan, and one of his very first cds was Bone-Thugs-N-Harmony! Not to mention this group will bring back memories...we met back in 1997!

I can't use the tickets as I'm going to be as busy as Bizzy Bone on Friday night but my favorite Bone-Thugs moment in downtown came in 1997 when they shot the video for "Look Into My Eyes" and posed atop the Eastern Columbia building, looking all the world like ghoulish gangsta gargoyles while dishin' on the competition.

I should win them because I retweet some of your twitter posts, and because Bone Thugz represent that midwest hospitality with some west coast beats!
Plus if I win, I'll DM you guys where the Kogi truck will be so you guys can get dem delicious tacos!

My friend got laid off last week and is a huge Bone Thugs fan. This would be the perfect way to let him enjoy a night without stressing about finding a new job.

As an old skool rapper turned community activist, I remember back when Eazy-E first signed these guys. We were on the West Coast thinking...what?? Eazy signed some rappers out of Cleveland? Does he know what he's doing??
Obviously so.....R.I.P. Eazy-E and props to Bone Thugz for having staying power and even more so for waiting for Flesh-n-Bone to complete the original starting five again.
This iz my era in hip-hop and I would love to not only go to the show, but also meet these dudes and reminesce on the good ole dayz!

I listened to Crossroads all the time when I was younger. It was one of my favorite songs and I would love to see them live!

I want these tickets because I actually appreciate real hip hop. Bone Thugs are one of the groups that got me into hip hop. I'm not going to lie about anything, I just want these tickets real bad. Thanks for reading.

Because they're legendary and irreplaceable. no one has gone through the revelation they have. it's about life altering experiences and it's crazy we as listeners could have it documented through their music. thanks!

I should win tickets because my rich friends who have jobs are ditching me to go to Electric Daisy on Friday. Please help a poor grad student out!

In my youth, I have had little opportunity to see bone thugs live. Even the poster on my wall has faded to the point where I can't tell the difference between any of the bones...
welcome back flesh-n-bone.
