Concert Sat Aug 25 2007
The only hip-hop event this weekend.
We at Transmission would be remiss if we ignored hip-hop's largest concert (in terms of names) as it comes to our fair city. Rock the Bells is Sunday, and, while tickets are available, we can't imagine why you wouldn't have yours already.
The lineup is immense and should be a show for the ages. Headlined by the Wu-Tang Clan, the show is a collection of some great hip-hop talent and great energy.
The undercard includes the "eclectic" MF DOOM, Mississippi's own David Banner, Immortal Technique, Jedi Mind Tricks, and Slum Village, spreading the gospel of departed producer J-Dilla.
The heavyweights include Pharoahe Monch, Talib Kweli, and Nas, who lead up to the always-momentous reunification of the Wu on stage. Supernatural and Rahzel ensure that there will be no dead air.
Tickets are $41, with the VIP package clocking in at $121, with some pretty decent privileges.
