The reunited A Tribe Called Quest and The Pharcyde, along with Nas, Mos Def and Amityville's De La Soul will headline this year's edition of Rock the Bells, which arrives at Nikon Theater at Jones Beach on July 27. Ghostface Killah and Raekwon, the two members of Wu Tang Clan who are not clashing at the moment, will also be on hand as Cuban Linx, as will Method Man and Redman, Santogold and Murs.
Pre-sale tickets will be available May 14 at www.guerillaunion.com and generally through Ticketmaster on May 17.
Though De La's landmark "3 Foot High and Rising" album didn't arrive in the United States until 1989, it was initially released overseas in 1988, making this summer its 20th anniversary. That should make for quite the De La party at Jones Beach.
