The fourth edition of Summer Reggae Fest took place near Saint Malo in France on July 8th and 9th, 2011. The festival, powered by Legal Shot sound system, invited some Jamaican and UK veterans (Johnny Clarke, Michael Prophet, Jimmy Cliff, Horace Andy, Aswad and Martin Campbell) as well as upcoming artists (Ziggi Recado, Alborosie and Diana Rutherford) to perform in Brittany.
Like previous years, the audience could go from the sound system corner to the "Live stage". A very exciting part of this 2 day festival was probably the soundsytem area. Indeed here, singers and deejays such as Johnny Clarke, Echo Minott, Al Campbell, Shinehead and Martin Campbell could show their skills alongside new comers like female singjay Soom T and French Pupa Jim (of Stand High Sound). They mashed up the versions on David Rodigan, OBF, Channel One (UK) and Legal Shot selections.
