Rock The Bells 2011

Haha

Common performing 'Be', DOOM, Killah Priest, Boy Jones and Erykah Badu to perform ‘Baduizm’.

Common is west coast only though.

Hold tight. They still haven't removed "more artists tba" from thier website... but Baduizm is huge. I'm thinking thats it for the top tier.

Unless Ms. Lauryn Hill doesn't play, thus vacating the top spot.

LOL! It's these kinds of things that make me never say never! ;D

Oh, if they get RATM ANYWHERE I'm figuring out how to sneak in that backpack dude! LMAO!

I can TOTALLY fit in that backpack! Starting to work out now!

Great article link....yeah I can see that they want to go where they KNOW they have the ticket sales. ATL is a hot hip-hop town but they prefer local artists with a specific style so...I can understand that.

Has anyone taken the ferry to a show at Governors Island before? Should I try and get there early?

And the website says no smoking on GI. Is this true?

Heh. I see a photo op.

Although last time I said that the picture cost me $200.
Eff Utah.

We get both shows :-D
Although I don't know if I'll go to either unless tickets are reasonably priced... which never happens at Fillmore, it'll be $40-50 after fees

Charlotte gets both shows. I'll probably only make Rae/Ghost/Mobb since its on the weekend. I'd love to see Black Star, though.

Ok so ghost/raekwon show is $30/ $42 after fees as I expected

But blackstar is $50 / $63 after fees!

$63 for blackstar?
I love them but would never pay more than $40 tops. Kinda ridiculous...

I love the fact they still don't have Boston information available yet.

Not that I plan on going, since I'm doing Freefest instead.

Looks like they are adding a Toronto RTB for Sep 8th.

Edit - Just realized you were looking for the Black Star show, which appears to have been removed completely, although it is still listed on Pollstar.
