Rapper Ice Cube said he is hopeful he can reunite the original members of NWA for a performance at one of the world’s biggest music festivals.

The gangsta rap pioneers disbanded in 1991 and have not performed together with Dr Dre for more than 25 years.

Speaking at the premiere of his new film Barbershop: The Next Cut in Los Angeles, Ice Cube remained tight-lipped about the planned reunion, but said: “I hope I can pull it together. That’s what we want. We just want to have the big stage like everybody else, that’s all.”
