This years Summerjam at Fuehlinger Lake in Cologne, Germany takes place between the 1st and 3rd of July, and just as with previous years the initial line-up for the festival looks very impressive, with both Jimmy Cliff and Alpha Blondy headlining on the Saturday night.

This festival is also well known for trying to get across to and make people aware of the social aspects of the festival and the unity that is often felt. Therefore this years aphorism for the festival is STAND UP FOR LOVE, with organizers stating on their web-site “The controversial discussion being conducted this year about social interaction is the background for the selection of our festival motto. It is intended to animate and at the same time be a starting position for an aspired development, which makes a resolution of the problems possible.
The basic requirement for social harmony is respect and love. It is worth every opportunity to stand up for this.”
