K'NaanNas, Common, Damian Marley, the Roots and K’naan are among the acts featured in this summer’s Rock the Bells hip-hop festival, which will visit 10 North American cities including Toronto and Vancouver.

Each of the tour stops, which are scheduled to take place on consecutive weekends from June 27 to Aug. 9, will feature 25 artists on two stages, according to Billboard.

Besides the two Canadian cities, the festival is also set to hit Chicago, Washington, D.C., Boston, New York, Denver, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Miami, with specific dates and venues to be announced at a later date.
