The event’s line-up includes Bounty Killer, Beenie Man, Mavado, Busy Signal, Sizzla, Ninjaman, Aidonia, Ishawna, Jahmiel, K Queens, Masicka, Chino, Stephen Di Genius, Kippo, Raine Seville, Chase Cross, Iyara, Iba Mahr, Flexx, Macka Diamond, D’Angel, Star Face and Chuck Fenda.

“Patrons can come out in their numbers as parking facilities will be very much secure. As always, we will be seeking to protect our brand, our sponsors, our patrons and the media with the help of the Ewarton police, alongside our private security. Therefore, we are warning the car thieves to just stay away from that event,” said Mendez.
