Reggae Sun Ska 2012

Check the portraits from most of the artists that played at the French festival.

This year the festival celebrated its 15th anniversary, so on this occasion were the main ways to go.

Building on its previous successes and the influx of more and more people, they had to repeatedly change the site to finally settle at Pauillac, Medoc, France in the midst of grand crus.

To mark the occasion Damian Marley was scheduled as an exclusive date in France. For the rest of the program all the styles were represented, roots, rocksteady, ska, dancehall and new roots, with artists such as Groundation, Alborosie, Mr Vegas, Pablo Moses, Jimmy Cliff, Studio One Revue and Stone Love Sound System, the reference in Jamaica that closed each night.

Through all these means the festival was sold out two days before the doors opened. Sad news for those who had planned to buy locally.

The festival attracted over 85,000 participants. In total there were over 45 artists and Sound System on three stages for the delight of festival goers, who could continue the party on the festival stage OFF. At Reggae Sun Ska music never stops.
