Few events can claim to both capture and define a movement, yet this is precisely what Rock The Bells has done since its inception in 2003. Rock The Bells is more than a music festival. It has become a genuine rite of passage for thousands of core, social, conscious, and independent Hip Hop enthusiasts, backpackers, and heads. Rock The Bells prides itself for producing a spectacular music environment that is exciting, safe, and memorable. Rock The Bells has grown exponentially over the past years and has developed a reputation for keeping true to its core audience. Rock The Bells will feature a massive festival complete with traditional vendor booths, multimedia experiences, and historic surprise performances.

Another element besides top-notch musical performances fans can experience at ROCK THE BELLS is the legendary KRS-One’s Temple of Hip-Hop. “Rock The Bells has always strived to be the world-class platform dedicated to hip-hop culture,” states Chang Weisberg of Guerilla Union. “This year we are excited to announce that KRS-One and the Temple of Hip Hop will be producing unique fan experiences dedicated to cultivating hip-hop culture by hosting guest speakers, workshops, art displays, lectures, book signings and more. Plans are still being finalized, but expect a unique Temple of Hip-Hop area to be built in each city. We are going to reach out to all artists on this year’s line-up to contribute their efforts to help educate and expand perspective on hip-hop culture.”

“ROCK THE BELLS is committed to providing our fans a unique opportunity to begin their 2009 experience by logging onto our websites and viewing our media players for exclusive tracks, videos and digital content made especially for our community,” adds Weisberg about what’s in store to connect with ROCK THE BELLS fans. “Technology has given us the ability to distribute content from our artists directly to the fans that support their live shows. It’s the beginning of our commitment to support the artists performing at our shows with resources developed over 10 years at Guerilla Union.
