LL Cool J is bringing a major celebration of hip-hop history to the Las Vegas Strip next spring. The veteran rapper will launch Rock the Bells: The Residency at Park MGM, mounting an 11-night run designed to spotlight the broader genre.
According to Rolling Stone, the performances will highlight hit-filled set lists alongside narrative storytelling elements and appearances from special guests. In a statement about the announcement, LL Cool J noted that the event brings together performers across multiple generations and styles on a single stage.
The residency will be split across two separate periods next year. The opening leg begins on May 15, with additional shows scheduled for May 16, 19, 21, and 22. Following a month-long break, the production returns for six more dates running July 9, 10, 11, 14, 16, and 17.
Tickets will be available to the public soon. A pre-sale period starts on Saturday, October 31 at 10 a.m. PST, followed by the general public on-sale on Monday, November 2 at 10 a.m. PST.
