Boost Mobile in association with Guerilla Union have announced another round of artist additions to the 2013 ROCK THE BELLS FESTIVAL SERIES
line-up. ACTION BRONSON, BIG DADDY KANE, DELTRON 3030, FREDDIE GIBBS,
FREEWAY, GIRL TALK, J. COLE, KRS-ONE, PRETTY LIGHTS, RAPSODY & 9TH
WONDER, RIFF RAFF, SLICK RICK & DOUG E. FRESH, SEAN P, SMOKE DZA,
WALE, and YG will join previously announced performers on the festival’s
10th anniversary celebration this year.
Guerilla Union president CHANG WEISBERG unveiled this list at the second 2013 PRESS CONFERENCE & LAUNCH PARTY on June 24th at the Highline Ballroom in New York City (the first Press Conference and Launch Party took place on May 14th
at the House of Blues Sunset Strip in Hollywood). When asked about the
progression in booking electronic dance music to a hip-hop festival,
Weisberg explained: “It’s important to acknowledge the bridge being
gapped between hip hop and EDM. They’re no longer two exclusive genres
and we’re starting to see major overlap between both styles, especially
in areas like LA, NYC, and DMV. Hip-hop is not one dimensional, it’s
actually more diverse than it’s ever been, and I’m glad that we’re able
to showcase and celebrate the many different sub-styles of the genre.”
Not
only will fans experience electronic dance music at the festival for
the first time, but they will also experience an entirely new venue in
New York and Washington DC. Weisberg states: “We’re excited to add to
Rock the Bells history by bringing the tour to two never-before-used
venues on the east coast. Meadowlands Racetrack has a beautiful, massive
grass infield and is just a quick train ride from the heart of
Manhattan, making it a perfect location for our festival. Additionally,
the Festival Grounds at RFK Stadium in D.C. have a prime, traditional
layout with open floor General Admission and VIP standing room, which
will make the event flow easy to navigate for our fans.”
More than twenty artists on the roster are releasing new albums this year including Curren$y (Pilot Talk III), Danny Brown (Old), Deltron 3030 (Event II), Dom Kennedy (Get Home Safely), Earl Sweatshirt (Doris), Hopsin (Knock Madness), Juicy J (Stay Trippy Mane), Schoolboy Q (Oxymoron), Tech N9ne (Something Else), along with the already released successes from Kid Cudi (Indicud), Tyler the Creator (Wolf), and J. Cole (Born Sinner). Plus, the legendary Wu-Tang Clan will celebrate their 20th year anniversary of 36 Chambers, as well as their ninth studio album A Better Tomorrow.
Tickets for the ROCK THE BELLS FESTIVAL SERIES
