Rock the Bells Festival set for National Orange Show Events Center

Grammy-winning singer Lauryn Hill has been added to the San Bernardino date of this year’s Rock the Bells Festival, which begins Aug. 21 at its home venue, the National Orange Show Events Center.

The 2010 edition of the hip-hop tour will feature a number of full-album performances — A Tribe Called Quest will do  “Midnight Marauders”; the Wu-Tang Clan (along with the late ODB’s son, Boy Jones) its “Enter the 36 Chambers” album; Rakim his “Paid in Full,” KRS-One his “Criminal Minded”; and Slick Rick his “The Great Adventures of Slick Rick.”

“This kind of show happens only once in a lifetime. It’s a serious piece of live music history,” Guerilla Union promoter Chang Weisberg said in a press release. “All these records in one day? Some of the greatest records ever. I can’t wait to see it!”

The reclusive Hill will do a special Rock the Bells set featuring music from her work as a member of the Fugees as well as her acclaimed solo debut, “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.”

Street Sweeper Social Club (featuring Rage Against the Machine’s Tom Morello and Boots Riley of the Coup), Murs & 9th Wonder, Wiz Khalifa, Clipse, Immortal Technique, Brother Ali, Jedi Mind Tricks, Supernatural, DJ Muggs with Ill Bill and DJ Rocky Rock are also slated for the Aug. 21 show.

Snoop Dog — who will headline at the festival’s stops in San Francisco, New York and Washington, D.C. — is not listed for the San Bernardino show, but Guerilla Union promises a special surprise guest and additional acts.

Tickets go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. Saturday; general admission is $75, while special VIP packages are $175-$409 and an eight-person private cabana goes for $5,000.
