Gig: Rock The Bells 2012 Lineup Announced

Every year, Rock The Bells - the hip hop festival to end all hip hop festivals - manages to pull together a jaw-dropping line up of talent, and 2012 is no different.

Sure, there are some clangers in there this year (Kid Cudi as a headliner? Really?).

But they're well and truly outweighed by quality (old timers like the Hit Squad, Missy Elliott and Timbaland and Ice Cube and new jacks such as Kendrick Lamar, Schoolboy Q and Ab-Soul).

Check the full line up to the left and either a) get ready to buy your tickets if you're States-side or have deep pockets, or b) have a bit of a sulk if you're not going to be able to make it. If you need me I'll be sulking in the corner.
