Rock the Bells is Coming! (Kinda.)

We here at Transmission were excited, EXCITED, to hear that the yearly Rock the Bells Tour was opening in Chicago in July. An all-star lineup! The reunification of A Tribe Called Quest! Whatever Wu Tang members decide to show up! De La Soul! Rakim! Local hip-hop makes good in Kid Sister and The Cool Kids! All that, and more, and outdoors!

Except, um, it won't be in Chicago proper.

Initial announcements say that it'll be at First Midwest Bank Amphitheatre. Know where that is, kids? Tinley Park. Better than, say, road-tripping to Indy or Madison, but to say "Chicago" brings up thoughts of, well, not a Metra ride to the burbs, into "Chicagoland".

Check the site for further info, mailing lists, giveaways, and other niceties.
