Tour Dates: Rock The Bells
We keep our eyes peeled for new tour dates announcements each week and compile them on Tuesdays (well Wednesday this week if you want to be a stickler) for this handy column…
For those of you out there looking for something a bit different than the rock-heavy festivals this summer, look no further than the hip-hop-centric Rock The Bells series. Now in its eight year, the traveling tour is currently scheduled to hit four cities this year – two on the East Coast and two on the West – and will feature a diverse selection of old and new school acts, as well as full album sets from Lauryn Hill performing The Miseducation Of…, Nas performing Illmatic, Cypress Hill performing Black Sunday and more. In addition to the four-date festival tour, organizers will also bring a scaled-down club tour this summer, with artists and dates to be announced.
If you’re not into a full day of hip-hop, then maybe you’ll be interested in hitting one of these recently announced tours…
