The festival's musical lineup typically features well-known reggae artists and bands, such as Damian Marley, Rebelution, and Steel Pulse, as well as up-and-coming acts and performers from other genres. In addition to the music, the festival includes a range of activities and experiences, including yoga and wellness sessions, art installations and displays, and a Kidz Zone for families with young children.
