This years Festival theme is Hop meets Hemp - a story of Prohibition 
We are living in a Hemp renaissance - with Hemp now being removed from the Controlled Substances Act in America a Hemp revolution is steadily happening all over the World. Governments are embracing the commercial value and healing benefits of Hemp CDB derived products - Hemp is no longer a Niche market and is returning as a cash crop with little water needed to grow fast with great potential to freeing up scarce water supplies used in agriculture

Big Mountain :: "Deportation Nation"
rfg
 
rfg
 
From the reggae band that brought the world "Ooh Baby I Love Your Way", comes an unapologetic condemnation of racist xenophobia against immigrants through its latest single, "Deportation Nation". This song reminds us that the true power of reggae music is to give voice to the oppressed and defenseless.
