Here Is The Full Lineup For The Virtual Return Of ‘Reggae Sunsplash’ (@SunsplashReggae)

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.
