Starting out as a small ska and reggae festival we could never have dreamt that we’d be in a position to be able to have this kind of line-up, let alone representing just one of our eight areas!! We just can’t wait for the summer to come and welcome back all our citizens with some of the very best reggae acts in the world!" said Lak Mitchell – Co-Founder and Creative Director
