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

[ridge]

the problem is they booke people who have all been in other major festivals and or have been touring heavy all year


most of these fans such as myself have seen asap mob, kendrick, schoolboy, wutang etc all in shows this year

why the hell would i go to rtb to see them again

and why the hell is girl talk headliner

 

[JackM]

ill be getting refunded for ny i guess

i was only goin friday, that saturday lineup was asscheeks. highlight of the lineup was an AIDS-ridden hologram

 

[L. Deezy]

Holograms is some shyt that need to be in Vegas..lol

[The Dust King]

Who exactly do you wanna see and think RTB that can afford for at least 4 dates?

I think this year it was just bad timing as far as the east coast goes.

Nas. That's literally the only artist I wanna see on that line-up that would do it. I would like to see a Dipset reunion, but I'm not holding my breath.

Some trap DJs like Baauer, Carnage, UZ, would of been better than having Pretty Lights and Girl Talk there. I guess they were trying to add more DJs and electronic acts to this years line-up (because it's so in right now :eyeroll, but they should of got people that play hip-hop/rap and not mash-up.

 

[Wild self]

Sad. NY and DC have no one to blame but themselves.

I wonder if they made a profit from the Cali shows and said it's not worth it to go to out east. If done right those music festivals make money.

[Danie84]

They've been recycling the same acts since its inception

 

[Optimus Prime]

Jay-Z's "Made in America" festival has the right formula for these big festivals. 2 or 3 stages, mixture of Rap, Electronic/Dance, & Rock with acts from the old school to current day...

  To Rock the Bells ticket holders and hip-hop heads world round:
  At its core, A3C is a festival that celebrates the culture and art of hip-hop. We are hip-hop fans, first and foremost, and were all very saddened to see the cancellation of Rock The Bells’ East Coast tour dates in New York City and Washington, DC. Rock The Bells has been an inspiration to A3C over the years and has a major impact on hip-hop culture.
  In wake of this sad news, A3C will be honoring all DC & NYC Rock the Bells tickets to this year’s five-day hip-hop festival in Atlanta. A3C understands the lack of big venue concerts that revere real hip-hop and knows that many fans are disappointed with the news of the Rock the Bells’ cancellation.
  We also know how much work goes into planning a hip-hop festival and are saddened for both the fans and workers behind Rock the Bells’ success. We’re sure Chang Weisberg and Guerilla Union will be back next year and that the Rock The Bells concert series will continue to produce the biggest and best hip-hop shows on the planet.

  A3C Hip-Hop Festival
