I want to begin this article by first saying kudos to the organizers of this year’s ‘Reggae Sunsplash.’ With all that is going on, not just here in Jamaica but in reggae and dancehall communities around the world, it must have been a mountainous task to switch from an in-person paid festival to a scaled-down virtual concert that’s free to everyone.
That being said they’ve been able to do it! Here is what Maria Jackson Magazine believe to be the full and complete lineup for 2020: Ras-I, Tanya Stephens, Richie Spice, Capleton (night one); Agent Sasco, Romain Virgo, Dexta Daps, Masicka and Jesse Royal (night two).
Reggae and dancehall lovers from all around the globe are invited to watch the entire show live on Reggae Sunsplash‘s YouTube channel. It will begin streaming live at 5:30 PM (local time) on both November 27th and 28th.
On Sunday, December 6th, Lutan Fyah will celebrate his birthday at an event called ‘Perfect Storm.’ This is a reggae concert that will feature performances from various artists, namely: Gyptian, Chezidek, Iba Mahr, Spectacular, Rockaz Elements and of course Lutan Fyah. The performers will be supported by Lutan‘s own Riddim Rebel Band.
This event will stream live from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM (Jamaica time) via stream876 dot com.
At the beginning of November we announced that Capleton, Agent Sasco, Fred Locks, Burru Banton, Peter Metro and Chaka Demus and Pliers would all be performing on Major Mackerel‘s benefit concert on December 12th.

The event, which will stream live via majormackerel dot veeps dot com, is schedule to start at 4:30 PM EST. Tickets are $20.99 USD. Please support this show as it’s for a good cause.
