Elephant Man and Maxi Priest are headliners for the September 15-16 Dallas Reggae Festival. Elephant Man is down to perform on opening day while Maxi Priest hits the stage the following day.

Most of the performers on the bill are regional reggae acts.

Still in Texas, Barrington Levy is scheduled to perform on the October 12 Austin City Limits Music Festival at Zilker Park in Austin, Texas. Headliners for the event are rock bands, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Weezer.

The show is a spinoff of the widely-popular Austin City Limits, a televised show that exposes underground musicians. Reggae acts including Jimmy Cliff have appeared on the long-running show.
