Rock The Bells Concert Cancelled for DC n NY Due To Low Ticket Sales

[Akademiks]

Only Los Angeles and San Francisco, Calif. Rock The Bells attendees will witness the innovative holograms of Eazy-E and Ol’ Dirty b*stard as the festival canceled its New York and Washington, D.C. dates given meager ticket sales.

After announcing the line-up for this weekend’s event at RFK stadium today (Sept. 26), which includes Wale, Black Hippy, and Big Daddy Kane, the Washington City Paperreports the festival will not occur after confirmation from the VP of communications and marketing of Events DC, Chinyere Hubbard. The option to purchase tickets onTicketmaster.com is unavailable.

XXL reports the 10th year anniversary concert will endure a $3 million loss in revenue including refunds.

I do have to agree with this, definitely the worst lineup yet

though I nevr was a jcole fan his performance last year was cool

it should've been new nggaz one day and O.G.s the other. Also they didn't have Nas on the lineup. I'm sure he makes or breaks sales

Man, I think Wale and Cole was gong to perform their as apart of their tour.

They couldn't cover up losses by themselves though.

 

[Long Live The Kane]

I blame the Wu-Tang Clan for this, they were the headliners no? Or was it Kendrick and them

 

[OnlyInCalifornia]

Not that surprised when 80% of the acts weren't from New York.
