Washington (CNN) Rapper Snoop Dogg will headline the Democratic National Convention's "Unity Party' for donors in Philadelphia, according to a statement from the Senate Majority PAC sent to Billboard Tuesday.

The event will take place at Philadelphia's Electric Factory on July 28 and will also feature rock band Los Lobos.
