Legends and pioneers hotstep it with young flag bearers and modern mavericks to bring a fabulous fusion of roots, lovers, dancehall, ska and dub performers.

The Jah Spirit Stage brings together some of the UK’s most vibrant soundsystems, inventive producers, eclectic selectors, engaging deejays and melodious MCs and will provide a throbbing backbeat to the weekend’s events.

The stage is named in honour of the beloved MC, vegan chef, ‘face of the festival’ and all round wonderous legend, Jah Spirit, who sadly passed away in February 2018 but whose fire we keep burning.

The Shebeen
The Shebeen is a special covered area situated within the Wilkswood Reggae complex. During the day it acts as the Chill Out Zone, a quiet, relaxing place out of the sun for adults and children to go to escape the throng, listening to some ambient beats away from the hustle and bustle.
At night the Shebeen turns into a late night joint with live DJs and a small bar. Because the Shebeen is inside the main farm buildings, the music can carry on after the live music has finished without causing disturbance to younger campers and local residents. There are are some special appearances planned with the Box Fulla Records label already confirmed for a take-over on Sunday night.
Full details will be posted nearer the event and during the festival weekend.
