Reggae Sunsplash

Reggae Sunsplash is a reggae music festival, held for the first time in the 1970s in the north of Jamaica. In the 1980s and 1990s, the festival has also gone on tour in the United States.

After the death of the founder, Tony Johnson, 1999 was initially the last Sunsplash festival. In 2006 it was held back by the initiative of Johnson's family.

Since it is very popular, visitors will find hardly any hotel room, so that the tradition has developed to camp on the beach.

The most important Jamaican reggae bands have played there, including Burning Spear, Bob Marley & the Wailers, Peter Tosh, The Gladiators, Big Youth, Third World, Culture, Steel Pulse, Toots and the Maytals, Freddie McGregor, Eek -a- Mouse, Yellowman, Buju Banton, Beenie Man, Lady Saw, Elephant Man, Diana King, Maxi Priest, the Haitian musician Wyclef Jean, as well as selected English guests as UB40 and Macka B. as the only German band played here in 1998 Los Tumpolos, along with Ziggy Marley and Lauryn Hill.
