There are only a few days left until the big show. Tickets are still available and will be sold at the box office the day of the show. Please note that doors for the San Bernardino, CA show will open promptly at 11:00am. Doors for the Concord, CA show will open promptly at 10:30am.
RZA will be doing a special book signing of his "Wu-Tang Manual" at both shows! Dont forget to stop by and support Supernatural as he attempts to freestyle for over 9 hours and break the Guiness Book of World Records for "Longest Freestyle Rap."
Please dress for a warm day and check the weather report here on our site for both shows. It looks like we are going to catch a break from record heat and have shows in the low 90s! (Whew!) Its going to be an amazing day of quality Hip Hop that will go down in history. The surprise performances are going to be amazing!

ROCK THE BELLS FAQS:
1. Why is the show being held at NOS Events Center?
The grounds are better suited for a European-style music festival. With all of the open space, the scenic lagoon, and spacious aircraft hangers available, the NOS Events Center is the best place to have our show. The Orange Pavilion has a very large stage with an even larger viewing window. It’s a true general admission festival. Please be aware that moshing or crowd surfing may occur at this event. Hot & cold food stands, 21+ bars, friendly staff & security, clean flush restrooms, patrolled parking, and ATM’s. There will be a large vendor village where you can buy all your festival essentials, clothes, jewelry, music, and unique merchandise.
2. What about the weather?
Rock The Bells will happen rain or shine. Every precaution has been made to ensure that the quality of the show will not be affected by inclement weather.
3. I heard tickets might sell out. There are plenty of tickets available for Rock The Bells?
Buying tickets early avoids being charged more closer to the date of the show or waiting in line at the event. The NOS Events Center floor plan will be open and spacious. Don’t worry about tickets selling out.
4. Are the bands playing short “radio festival” style sets?
Rock The Bells allows the artists ample time to play full live sets. Usually, artists will only have enough time to play a few songs at your favorite radio stations’ music festival or Summer Jam. Rock The Bells allows its artists/bands to play all their favorite songs and even some new material. There will be some awesome groundbreaking music at this year’s show. There will be no “short” sets.
5. Where can I buy tickets?
You can buy tickets at all Ticketmaster outlets or on-line at ticketmaster.com. Ticketmaster outlets are located at all Tower Records, Wherehouse Music, Ritmo-Latino, and Robinson-May department stores. There are also tickets available at a few select Hip Hop shops around Southern California only.
6. How can I save money?
You can save money by purchasing your tickets early. If youre a Southern California resident, you can check your local record store for tickets to avoid the fees incurred from an outlet.
