LOS ANGELES (CelebrityAccess) -Live Nation Urban has announced details for a brand-new touring experience and a celebration of Hip-Hop culture in partnership with Rock the Bells – The F.O.R.C.E. (Frequences of Real Creative Energy) Live headlined by Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and Grammy Award winner, LL Cool J. The tour will mark LL’s first headlining arena tour in 3 decades. LL himself curated the lineup for the upcoming F.O.R.C.E tour.

Building off of their fantastic performance together at the GRAMMY Awards earlier this year, celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Hip-Hop, all dates will feature collaborative live performances with the Award-winning Hip-Hop band The Roots, the legendary DJ Jazzy Jeff, and DJ Z-Trip.

Unlike the traditional “opening act – headliner” format, the show will be a nonstop musical mash-up with artist performances interwoven within one continuous musical set backed by The Roots. In select cities, the bill also boasts a rotating cast of iconic acts, including 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 more.

LL Cool J says, “I’m excited to be on my first Arena tour in 30 years. It’s proof that our culture is more viable than ever. So get ready for some nonstop beats and rhymes. See you this summer!”

The F.O.R.C.E. Live hits the road on June 25 in Boston at TD Garden before stopping in Brooklyn at the Barclays Center on June 27, hitting arenas across the US and Canada, and closing out on September 3 at the KIA Forum in Los Angeles.
