Guerilla Union recently announced the official line-up to this year’s Rock the Bells festival. And while some artists come at no surprise (Wu-Tang Clan, Black Hippy, Immortal Technique, Tech N9ne, etc), a shocker came as it was revealed that there will be “original virtual performances” by both Ol’ Dirty and Eazy-E. More holograms? According to founder Chang Weisberg, the answer is no…
It’s an original virtual performance, not a hologram. I never used the word hologram. There are a number of multimedia visual effects that will be applied that will definitely at the very least make the performances look like a hologram. People’s minds will be blown.
Whatever the case may be, we’ll just have to wait and see on September 7-8 when the festival kick starts in San Bernardino, CA. Check the other cities/dates here and hit the jump for the full list of expected performers.
The rest of the Wu will be hitting the stage during Wu-Block’s set at the New Jersey stop of Rock the Bells this weekend. Slaughterhouse, Big Sean, French Montana, Red Cafe and Tine Tempah are also set to exclusively hit the East Coast shows. Tickets are still available for both days and can be purchased here.
With Rock The Bells 2012 ending this weekend in New Jersey, the dopehouse has a pair of tickets to give away to a pair of lucky readers. All you have to do is
Enter your full, real name and legit email in the c-section down below where applicable (not in the comment itself, unless you want some random spam bot flooding your inbox for the next 50-11 years), and write “#RockTheBells” as your comment
and I’ll pick two persons out of the mix who has done both as the winners. It’s not that hard, right? Tri-State Area residents/those who plan on being in New Jersey at the day of the show enter only.

The homie Andreas and Shake were on hand during the first weekend of the Rock The Bells festival last weekend, and you can see what they experienced via this visual recap. You can also head over to TWV for still shots as well.

For those of you who were in New York, Rock The Bells took place at Govenor’s Island this past Saturday. Here are some performances from the show. Blackstar’s performance is after the jump.
Live At the BBQ f. Akinyele, Joe Fatal & Large Professor
Nasir held court live on stage yesterday at Rock the Bells on Governor’s Island, where he brought along some legends who had a hand in jump starting his career. Up top, he performs Live At the BBQ with Akinyele, Large Pro and Joe Fatal, while down bottom you can peep performances of Nas Is Like, The World Is Yours, It Ain’t Hard to Tell, Represent, Back To the Grill and more. For those who attended, what were the highlight(s) of the show in your opinion? RR and Dabel Grave.
With Rock The Bells just around the corner, a quickstrike club tour will kick off the festivities starting in New Orleans, with Rae and Ghost performing Only Built for Cuban Linx… and Mobb Deep rocking The Infamous.
Alongside Lauryn Hill, Nas, Mobb Deep and Cypress Hill, Erykah (who was previously announced a while ago) will perform Baduizm, Common will perform BE and the elusive DOOM will probably have some guy posing as him make his RTB debut. Sounds better and better each time.
