Hail

There are a few artists that definitely should not be on that show.
Why when we mention a reggae show we have dancehall acts performing?
IMO the genres should be separated.

As well as, we're still making the mistake of cramming too many artist on one show, aren't tired of this all night till morning format?

I think they should have staggered the event, having a pre-show early in the afternoon (say 2pm) , giving more people the opportunity (especially a younger audience) to participate.

While it's great that we have reggae bands coming form our Caribbean neighbors, we should have included a wider cross section of countries that have reggae bands.
There are great reggae bands from Brazil, Mexico, France and even Canada, to name a few.

I'm definitely not impressed with this line up.
