I reckon Wu-Tang, A Tribe called Quest and maybe Snoop will come out to do 20th Anniversary albums. Tribe and Wu already doing or did a couple of festivals this summer so they may go ahead and do it see as they have done it before.

Joey Badass, Logic, possibly Cudi again and maybe Cole will be there from the new dudes cause they got albums coming up or out to promote. Might see Flatbush Zombies out there

I dont expect Nas to be on the bill officially but he will probably show up cause he shows up every year

It would be tight if they got Kanye or Outkast:whoo:

right.. dont know why they stopped DC. shyt was always packed

I think logistically it was just difficult. You're basically asking to take a massive festival with dozens and dozens of acts and then take it on the road for a month. Even in Rock the Ozzfest couldnt do it forever. When they did take Rock the Bells on the tour not everyone could make every venue and when they took overseas in 2008 it was a mini tour of like 5 acts. fukked up part was when they hit the southern venues they didnt even get massive turnouts despite Wu, Nas, MOP and people of that ilk. Could be wrong but I just remember a big deal was made out of that when they hit Miami and Houston in 2007, so it was probably not as profitable as having everyone come to you like a Hip Hop Coachela/Glastonburty type deal

Like I said, Wu Tang (or at least some form) and Nas are always guaranteed to show up. Dont they even have their own stage now? (36 Chambers stage)

Be cool if they did, but I doubt they getting Kanye and Outkast. 3 Stacks and Kanye probably think they too bougie for this shyt. Big Boi, some Dungeon Fam members and maybe Goodie Mob would come though

Wu is guaranteed to headline. 20 year anniversary + 10 years since ODB's last performance with them at the first show. I love Wu but I will never go to Rock the Bells again. Went in 2007 and it was a bunch of hipster fakkits who didn't know one single song by Rakim, EPMD, or Public Enemy...yet think they are "hip hop heads" cause they know some of Wu's catalog. Quiet as a damn mouse and raining the whole time. My fondest memory was punching some whiteboy crowd surfer in the face cause he kicked me hard as fukk in the head.
