Guerilla Union--the promoter for the ROCK THE BELLS 2009 FESTIVAL SERIES
announced on-sale information for a number of the dates for North
America’s only major touring hip-hop festival. The Los Angeles and
Denver markets will go on-sale this Saturday, May 16 with Vancouver and
San Francisco joining on Saturday, June 6. The previously revealed
stellar line-up of performers for this year’s ROCK THE BELLS will
feature Nas & Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley, The Roots, Big Boi, Common,
Busta Rhymes plus many more.
A special announcement specific to this Los Angeles show--set for
Saturday, August 8 at the San Manuel Amphitheatre--is the addition of
special guest Ice Cube, the legendary rapper who was a major force in
establishing the west coast hip-hop movement, not only as a member of
N.W.A but also as a solo artist. This will mark his first ever
appearance on the ROCK THE BELLS stage. “Ice Cube is a true legend,”
states Chang Weisberg of Guerilla Union. “Having this icon perform on
Rock the Bells, especially in his hometown, is a true honor for me and
will certainly be an unforgettable experience for LA fans.” Ice Cube’s
last album Raw Footage was released in 2008 via his own imprint Lench
Mob Records.
