Rock The Bells
Rock the Bells is an annual hip hop festival that originally took place in Southern California only, but has since toured throughout the world.
The concert features a lineup of high-profile alternative hip hop artists, often headlined by a more mainstream artist. The first festival was held in 2004, featuring a re-united Wu-Tang Clan, who performed 4 months before Ol’ Dirty Bastard’s death.
That festival is covered in depth by a documentary film also called Rock the Bells (film).
