Rewind: The Week in Rock Daily It seemed like old times this week, as Jane’s Addiction got back together for a one-night-only performance. My Bloody Valentine came back around also, as did the reunited Pharcyde and Portishead. Of course, all these groups could have played this place back in the day. All sorts of new music burst onto the web: Madonna premiered Hard Candy, Nine Inch Nails dropped a surprise single and we got a taste of the in-concet stylings of Les Savy Fav. On the American Idol front, there was a David Cook-related conspiracy theory, a David Archuleta photo meme and another exit, this time from Irish lass Carly Smithson. Finally, there’s a music festival in the desert this weekend, so we got you prepared and found out what other stars were excited about. And if you miss out on Coachella, there are plenty of other festivals to check out this summer. [Photo: Getty]

A Tribe Called Quest, Nas, Pharcyde Lead Rock the Bells 2008 A Tribe Called Quest, Nas, Mos Def, De La Soul, Rakim and a reunited Pharcyde lead the 2008 Rock the Bells Festival, the annual touring hip-hop event that last year featured a reunited Rage Against the Machine. Other acts on the bill include Method Man and Redman, Raekwon, Immortal Technique, Dead Prez, Spank Rock, Santogold, Jay Electronica, Murs and more. Supernatural will host the main stage. “Some people don’t want to give hip-hop tours a chance, thinking it’s a violent art form,” Murs told Rock Daily. “But Guerilla Union found a way to make a real nice, peacful, hip hop festival that is like Heaven on Earth.” The ten-city tour kicks off July 19th in Chicago and wraps up at the end of August. The tour will also head to Europe and Japan for the first time. Check out the full tour dates after the jump.
