Cole, Chief Keef, Big Sean, Big Daddy Kane, A-Trak, Supernatural, Wale and Wu-Tang Clan who were all previously announced. The new additions? Joey Bada$$ with Pro Era, Trinidad James, and The Internet. The A$AP Mob and Young Dirty Bastard will appear at all four stops.
Rock The Bells founder Chang Weisberg has an update to tell fans about the virtual performances of Eazy-E of NWA and Ol’ Dirty Bastard of W-Tang Clan.
“Despite initial reports of problems with rights clearances, I’m very pleased to announce that the estates are both 100% on board,” Weisberg said. “Furthermore, not only are the families on board with the virtual performances, they are actually participating with the creation of them. This ensures the authenticity and integrity of the performances. It’s a monumental moment for music and technology that Eazy’s and ODB’s children have lent their DNA to these historic performances. Their bodies, faces, and voices have been captured to help recreate their fathers’ avatars. The process has been extremely rewarding to say the least. Seeing family members honoring their fathers in such a unique way has been incredible to witness. Watching Tomica Wright [Eazy-E’s widow] share her most intimate perspective to make sure every detail is authentic and accurate has been a blessing. I almost cried watching Young Dirty Bastard channeling his father’s uncanny stage charisma. It was pure magic. I cannot wait for the family members to see all their hard work. It will truly be historic.”
Their website calls the “family endorsed holograms’, hell, lets have them at holiday dinner! Why its like they never died! This event isnt cheap if you’re going VIP style, but its pretty average at standard GA rates. Rain or shine and AUTUMN so you wont sweat your ass off unless you’re twerkin’.
