Ultimately, our goal is to always present something that is historic. This year’s show is the epitome of that tradition. Some things new and fresh, some things classic and legendary, and something that you’ve never seen or may never see and hear again. That’s the formula.”In addition to the performances, Freestyle Session will feature the top international B-Boys and B-Girls. A portion of all proceeds will benefit the non-profit, Hip Hop and Hop for Haiti. The 7th Annual Rock the Bells Festival kicks off August 21st at the NOS Events Center in San Bernardino, California.
