LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Several hip-hop icons are coming to the valley as part of Live Nation's The F.O.R.C.E. Live tour.
That stands for Frequencies Of Real Creative Energy.
Live Nation said it's a celebration of hip-hop, which the company said is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year.
The company said LL Cool J will headline the tour and this is his first arena tour in 30 years.
"It's proof that our culture is more viable than ever," the Grammy award winner said. "Get ready for some non-stop beats and rhymes."
He helped select which artists will take the stage with him in each city.
Here in Las Vegas, he'll be joined by The Roots, DJ Jazzy Jeff, DJ Z-Trip, Salt-N-Pepa, Ice-T, and Rakim.
The show is set for September 2.
