ROCK THE BELLS FESTIVAL: LL COOL J, Ice Cube, Rick Ross, Lil’ Kim & More

ROCK THE BELLS FESTIVAL is upon us — and you can catch exclusive live backstage coverage of the August 6 event at Forest Hills Stadium on LL COOL J’s Rock The Bells Radio (Ch. 43). Check out the festival lineup below.

Earlier this year, LL joined Roxanne Shante’s show and revealed the day-long celebration will take place in their hometown of Queens, NY. The can’t-miss event will showcase live performances by Hip-Hop legends LL COOL J himself, Ice Cube, Rick Ross, Lil’ Kim, The Diplomats ft. Cam’ron, and many more. Additionally, ROCK THE BELLS FESTIVAL will feature a “SALUTE THE SAMPLE” competition challenging contestants to recognize the classic samples behind your favorite Hip-Hop joints.

ROCK THE BELLS FESTIVAL will feature live performances, interactive experiences, art exhibits, food, fashion and much more. Coverage from the event will air exclusively on Rock The Bells Radio. The festival marks the first live concert experience from Rock The Bells, the globally celebrated Hip-Hop platform founded by LL COOL J, bringing fans a fully immersive festival moment as they experience LL’s personal love letter to Hip-Hop through the lens of music, art, fashion, culture, food, and much more.

The festival also kicks off a week of live events, activations and programming moments to celebrate the anniversary of Hip-Hop across the city that launched a movement and changed the world.
