and beat boxer Scratch (formerly of the Roots) returning to the ROCK THE
BELLS stage after appearing on all of this summer`s U.S. dates. The festival

play his classic tracks and songs from his new mega-hit album Untitled. Mos
Def also be performing new tracks from his highly anticipated new album The
Ecstatic.  Joining the tour in Prague, Amsterdam and Birmingham will be

Event organizer Chang Weisberg states, "We are thrilled that Rock The Bells
is launching its inaugural series of festivals in Europe.  It is the first
American Hip Hop platform to do so. We appreciate the enthusiastic support
of all our partners especially SanDisk, Live Nation, and all the fans who
love quality live music experiences.  These initial shows represent the
beginning of our long term commitment to bring quality Hip Hop events on a
more regular basis globally. Our vision includes plans to take our branded
platforms into everything from small clubs and theatres to larger arenas and
outdoor music festivals throughout the year. "

Weisberg also calls the line-up a dream come true, "Nas and Mos Def have
been a part of many historic Rock The Bells moments and I couldn`t imagine a
better group of artists to launch our European festivals. De La Soul, EPMD,
MC Supernatural and Scratch round out a truly amazing bill that also
includes the historic reunion of The Pharcyde." 

The artists share the same excitement such has headliner Nas, "I`ve been
down with Rock The Bells since day one, and I`m excited to be a part of hip
hop history for the first Rock The Bells festivals in Europe. It`s an honor
and blessing to share the stage with so many artists that I truly love and
appreciate on so many levels."  Dave, aka Plug Two from De La Soul states,
"When I first heard the line-up for Rock The Bells, all I could think was
what more can anyone ask for?  If there ever was a hip hop tour that made
reminiscing more pleasant, Rock The Bells `08 was it.and now to go to
Europe, can`t wait!
 
Guerilla Union is excited to announce that SanDisk will continue to be the
title sponsor of the festival series for the international run.
"Sponsorship of these leading European music events speaks to our commitment
to reach consumers where our products can make a great difference for them,"
said Michael Romero, Vice President, Mobile Retail Business, SanDisk.
"SanDisk`s line of mobile memory cards makes the digital lifestyle more
manageable by offering consumers enhanced ability to bring multiple types of
digital content, especially music, with them wherever they go.  These cards
provide a new level of convenience for people to store, move and play such
content using their mobile phones, so we`re excited to marry our promotion
of our mobile memory products with the leading pop culture events."

Weisberg adds "Flash memory technology can help change the music industry.
We are proud to work with SanDisk and develop better ways to empower artists
and the fans that enjoy their music. Rock The Bells will host SanDisk`s
"Wake Up Your Phone" campaign. We are constantly amazed at how flash memory
improves the functionality of everyone`s cell phone. Our fans are on top of
their tech game and we believe that this partnership will improve the live
experience in general by incorporating these new technologies into the fan
experience. Our festivals are uniquely powered by SanDisk and we thank them
for all of their support." 

Guerilla Union`s ROCK THE BELLS INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL SERIES POWERED BY
SANDISK has established itself as a world-class hip hop platform by hosting
legendary performances by Rage Against the Machine, NAS, A Tribe Called
Quest, Public Enemy, Lauryn Hill, Blackstar (Talib Kweli and Mos Def),
Hieroglyphics, Living Legends, De La Soul, Busta Rhymes, Cypress Hill and
Jurassic 5.  It is recognized as a forum of unparalleled diversity and
excellence by uniting the biggest names involved with urban street culture
and was the top-grossing hip hop event in the United States in 2007.

One of the past memorable moments of the Festival came at The 2004 Rock The
Bells, which reunited the most influential hard core rap group ever to
emerge - The Wu-Tang Clan for the first time in 10 years.  It was the last
time for anyone to experience the Wu-Tang Clan as a whole, as ODB passed
away a couple months after the show.  Since then, members of the Wu-Tang
Clan have continued to appear on the line-up on an annual basis while paying
tribute to their fallen clan member.
