ROCK THE BELLS, one of the brightest hip-hop music festivals in the country, returns to the NOS Events Center in San Bernardino, CA on Saturday, July 30 and will be headlined by Nas in a rare West Coast appearance. Other confirmed acts for the day-long extravaganza include a wide range of MC’s and turntable masters including Rock The Bells fave Redman, the 10-year anniversary performance of Cuban Linx featuring Ghostface & Raekwon, Heiroglyphics, Living Legends, Sage Francis, Q-Bert, Guru (Gangstarr), Cut Chemist, Visionaries, Supernatural, DJ Muggs, Oh No, Med and Percee P, Nonphixion plus Special guest hosts B-Real of Cypress Hill, RZA of Wu Tang Clan, and Mr. Choc of Power 106 and Beat Junkies.
Spearheaded by festival founder and organizer Chang Weisberg of Guerilla Union, ROCK THE BELLS continues as an ambitious undertaking inspired by a lack of quality hip-hop events and tours in the concert industry today. Launched in 2003, ROCK THE BELLS is a genuine rite of passage for thousands of urban-minded music lovers from all over Southern California. Following in the colorful tradition and history of past hip-hop music festivals such as Smoking Grooves and the Cypress Hill Smoke Out, ROCK THE BELLS aims to become the ultimate hip-hop platform and premiere single-day music event in the country by uniting the biggest names involved with urban culture in a spectacular music environment that is exciting, safe and memorable.
Later this year, ROCK THE BELLS (THE DOCUMENTARY), which chronicles the story of the Wu Tang reunion show (which happens to be the last group performance including Old Dirty Bastard before his tragic death), will be released theatrically and finally on to DVD.
Tickets for ROCK THE BELLS featuring Nas on July 30 at the NOS Events Center in San Bernardino go on sale through Ticketmaster on Tuesday, June 3.
