Live Nation Urban announces information for a once-in-a-lifetime touring experience and Hip-Hop culture celebration - Rock The Bells & Live Nation Urban presents The F.O.R.C.E. (Frequencies of Real Creative Energy) Live with The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame® Inductee, Kennedy Center® Honoree, two-time GRAMMY® Award winner, and Hip-Hop superstar LL COOL J. This will be LL COOL J's first headline stadium tour in 30 years. The roster for this tour is specifically handpicked by LL COOL J himself, living true to the acronym F.O.R.C.E. (Frequencies of Real Creative Energy).
All concerts will feature collaborative live performances with Grammy Award-winning Hip-Hop band The Roots, the famous DJ Jazzy Jeff, and DJ Z-Trip, following their incredible performance together on the GRAMMY® Awards earlier this year celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Hip-Hop. Rather than the typical "opening act - headliner" style, the show will be a continual musical mash-up, with individual performances intertwined within one continuous musical set backed by The Roots. Salt-N-Pepa, Queen Latifah, Rakim, Common, MC Lyte, Method Man & Redman, Big Boi, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Ice T, Juvenile, Doug E. Fresh, Slick Rick, De La Soul, Goodie Mob, Jadakiss, Rick Ross, and others will perform in certain cities.
