Roaring louder than a reggae lion, fans were all about it, providing backing vocals to familar songs. Concertgoers ranged from twentysomethings to seasoned seniors who have imbibed in the band’s vibes for 35-plus years. The musicians drew from their entire catalogue, delivering an 11-song, hour-long first set and a four-song encore.

 source: Khool
KINGSTON, JAMAICA: Musical and triple brand ambassador, I-Octane, always seems to effortlessly hit the perfect note, whether on or off stage.
Coming from a scintillating performance at the recently concluded Reggae Sumfest in Montego Bay, the young veteran, who created history by closing the festival two consecutive years – 2013 and 2014 – is just as focused now as when he started his impressive journey close to a decade ago.
The Rastafarian reggae-dancehall artiste admits that this year’s Reggae Sumfest was very special to him, one reason being that for the first time in three years he performed during prime time to a crowd that was already wholly energized and super ready for his commanding performance.

Whether you are a first time attendee or a seasoned Reggae veteran, the 2016 edition of Reggae On The River will feature many exciting new features. With venue improvements like a new 780,000+ gallon rainwater catchment pond that will allow sufficient water for the management of the site- expect a cooler, irrigated, and more dust-free environment this year- with sufficient excess in the pond to recharge the aquifer after the event, offsetting the festival’s water usage and making ROTR the world’s first “water-neutral” event! You can also expect greener initiatives within the show- including a revamped recycling program- and the elimination of plastic beer cups in the concert bowl thanks to a new steel pint program offered in tandem with the Eel River Clean Up Project and Steely’s. On the entertainment end of the spectrum, get ready for more cool lighting and ambiance in the campground/ concert bowl- and expanded daytime offerings at the Center and South Beach common areas- including yoga, massage, and health/ wellness offerings, plus food booths, DJs, a bar, and more. And for those of you looking to up the comfort level on your festival camping accommodations- go big with the Ambassador Pass, pick up an RV pass, or make a reservation in our new Premier Campground- which offers flat, grassy, and mixed shade camping with direct access to the concert bowl.

 We are pleased to present the 2016 Reggae Festival Guide, totally digital and interactive with links to your favorite bands, music, products and festivals. We’ve put together a great collection of editorial for you – described below – as well as the festivals on this year’s calendar.
In “The Inspiration — Rastafari To The World!”, Groundation lyricist and frontman Harrison Stafford highlights his Rasta-mentary film Holding On To Jah, which details Haile Selassie’s 1966 visit to Jamaica and its lasting impact, and features thoughts from reggae luminaries such as Joseph Hill, U-Roy and others.
Steel Pulse has been one of the primary bearers of the reggae torch, keeping the original Rasta message strong. Dive into “Dreadtown — The Steel Pulse Story: Film Crowdfunding And Direct Support From The Fans” to learn more about the upcoming documentary film on this legendary band’s ethic and epic rise to worldwide acclaim.
From reggae business manuals, to a book with in-depth roots artist interviews, to a DVD about Rastafari, Chuck Foster returns with this latest installment of “Readings For Reasonings.”
Join us as we peer into the life, history and culture of Jamaica, Africa, reggae and Rastafari in “Cultural ViZions,”featuring visual artists Abba Yahudah, Jeffrey Samuels, André Jones a.k.a. Natty Rebel and Ras Elijah Tafari.
In “Roots Rock Rhythm — The Universal Heartbeat,” international yoga teacher Shiva Rea reflects upon some of the original heartbeat drum rhythms of reggae, and the transformational power the reggae beat has upon our hearts and souls.
