Reggae Sumfest - Jamaica
When: 01 July 2009 - 31 July 2009
Around 55,000 reggae fans descend upon Montego Bay in July for an explosion of top acts and seriously huge sound systems. Jamaica lives for reggae and there really is nowhere else on the planet that can beat the amazing vibe for this particular type of music.
Local reggae artists hoping to be the next Bob Marley perform across a range of stages. Each festival follows a specific theme and artists try to mirror this closely while producing new work for the ecstatic audience.
