FESTIVAL NEWS: Rock The Bells 2008-Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Mos Def, Spank Rock-On Sale 5/17

Rock The Bells may just as well rebrand itself the Reunion Fest, considering last year's landmark Public Enemy and Wu-Tang performances, and the sight of Mos Def sharing the stage with Blackstarr collaborator Talib Kweli. And now this year the bad-ass fest is boasting A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, half the members of Wu-Tang again(!) and special guests, The Pharcyde. Dang! Is it worth trekking all the way out to Jones Beach? Well, um... yeah. You better believe it is.

Here's the deets, courtesy of their publicity peeps:
