The touring hip-hop festival Rock the Bells has cancelled its Washington, DC and New York-area installments, the Washington Post and Brooklyn Vegan report, with various artists' Twitters confirming.

The lineup this year included Earl Sweatshirt, Tyler the Creator, Danny Brown, Black Hippy, Juicy J, Curren$y, Big K.R.I.T., A$AP Mob, Pusha T, Freddie Gibbs, Joey Bada$$, Girl Talk, Common, Kid Cudi, Rakim, and more— not to mention "original virtual performances" by the late Eazy-E (with Bone Thugs-n-Harmony) and Ol' Dirty Bastard (with the Wu-Tang Clan).

The DC event was scheduled to take place at RFK Stadium this weekend (September 28 and 29); the New York event was scheduled for October 4-5 at the Meadlowlands Stadium in nearby East Rutherford, New Jersey. No official word has been given on refunds or causes of cancellation from the Rock the Bells camp.

Rock the Bells' West Coast events, which took place earlier in September in Los Angeles and San Francisco, went off as planned.
