During an interview with Billboard, LL Cool J explained the need for the platform Rock the Bells is bringing to the festival circuit.

“I found that so many people want this,” he said.

“[Hip-hop fans] want to celebrate the culture, but they want it done in the right way.

"So the same way that The Stones get treated, Paul McCartney gets treated, and Bob Dylan gets treated, I wanted to see these artists treated that way," he continued.

The fest will be hosted by Roxanne Shanté with music by DJ Mister Cee and DJ Scratch.

Why is the festival called Rock the Bells?

The festival is named after the 1985 hit from LL Cool J.

The upcoming Rock the Bells is different from a festival that ran from 2004 to 2013.
