Grenada will be host to one of the biggest Reggae events to ever be staged in the Eastern Caribbean. Q-West Promotion has joined forces with Digicel and Guinness for the staging of the 10th Annual Reggae Festival.
Digicel Reggae Fest X is scheduled for Sat May 28th 2011, at the National Cricket Stadium in St. George’s Grenada. The line-up includes International Recording Artist Jah Cure , who won both the song and singer of the year titles in Jamaica in 2010, Sizzla , the conscious voice of Reggae music, the veteran performer Cocoa Tea, and Konshens, one of the hottest new reggae artist in the world . Ajamu, Grenada’s most celebrated Artist, will also be featured.
According to the promoter of the event Steve Duncan, this is the 10th Anniversary of the Reggae fest event, so we had no choice but to make it the biggest ever. Past performers included the late Lucky Dube, Gregory Issacs and Culture, Bunny Wailer, Buju Banton and Beres Hammond to name a few. This is the first time however, that Grenada will play host to four Big Reggae performers on one stage. This year’s event will be a mix of Love Rockers, conscious reggae and explosive energy, to ensure a balance.
With such a star-studded line-up, thousands of Reggae lovers and Visitors from near and far are expected to converge on the Stadium in Grenada, for what is anticipated to be a marathon of the Caribbean’s best Reggae music. Such an attractive event is also a major boost for the Island in terms of Regional Tourism, particularly because the event is being held during what is considered the low season.
Early bird tickets will be US$20 or EC$50 VAT inclusive, but patrons will have to pay more later on and at the gate. Limited VIP Drinks-Inclusive tickets will also be available.
Gates will open 7PM, show time will be 9pm Sharp, and permission has been granted to 5AM.
There will also be some attractive giveaways by some of the headline sponsors.
