In addition, the uptempo, heavy bassline rhythms of Dancehall will accompany the chart topping Beenie Man, Macka Diamond, Anthony B, Wayne Marshall Elephant Man, Vybz Kartel the Empire who will all take the stage.
“This show is a significant one because it brings together the foundation acts and the younger generation of music, namely dancehall. It’s like a class room or a workshop with teacher and students,” McGregor explained. With reggae veterans and the big guns of dancehall together patrons are expected to get their fill of roots, rocking reggae and hardcore beats and their favourite hits of yesteryear and today.
