My favorite music festival announced its 2010 lineup yesterday. As usual, Rock The Bells won’t disappoint. We’ve got:
- Yelawolf
- Big Sean
- Supernatural
- Street Sweeper Social Club
- Brother Ali
- Jedi Mind Tricks
- DJ Muggs & Ill Bill
- Immortal Technique
- Clipse
- Wiz Khalifa
- Murs and & 9th Wonder
- Slick Rick (performing The Great Adventures of Slick Rick in its entirety)
- KRS-One (performing Criminal Minded in its entirety)
- Rakim (performing Paid In Full in its entirety)
- Wu-Tang Clan (performing Enter the Wu-Tang:36 Chambers in its entirety)
Obviously, getting to see Slick Rick and the Wu perform their finest work is worth the $40 or so the tickets cost. Toss in Clipse, Wiz (who is a much better live performer than you’d expect), and Brother Ali and I’m set. Yelawolf would be dope too. I’m nitpicking now – mostly b/c I saw Rakim, Murs, Tech, and Supernatural at Rock The Bells 2008 – but I know I’ll be head-nodding for the whole 12 hours…
…if I can find a bus ticket out to DC. For some reason, Guerilla Union has only set up 4 stops on this year’s Rock The Bells tour schedule. 2 Cali stops, an NYC show, and the finale in the District. This is a bigger blow to Chicago than losing the 2016 Olympics. Now I’ll be scouring Megabus and Greyhound for the next month and looking for a couch to crash on in the DMV on August 29th.
Worth the sacrifice.
