There is no doubt about it: the Dub Camp Festival will be the meeting place for dub lovers this summer. Organised by the Get Up! association, the Dub Camp Festival will run for three days in Loire-Atlantique and bring together an exceptional line-up.
On 4, 5 and 6 July, at Le Pellerin (44), it will take stamina to get through all the scheduled sessions. Three days (and three nights) and no fewer than three marquees have been announced to host the cohort of crews and artists (and, in many cases, their sound systems!) on the bill:
Channel One (UK), King Shiloh Sound System (NL), King Earthquake Sound System (UK), Iration Steppas feat. Danman (UK), Aba Shanti-I Sound System (UK), Blackboard Jungle Sound System (FR), OBF Sound System (FR), Stand High Patrol feat. Pupa Jim (FR), Kanka (FR), Soom T feat. Konchis (UK), Word Sound & Power (UK), Jah Youth (UK), Mungo’s Hi-Fi feat. Mr. Williams (UK), Dubkasm feat. Solo Banton (UK), Kibir La Amlak (UK), Don Fe feat. Prince Jamo (SP/UK), Roberto Sanchez (SP), Moa Ambessa (ITA), Mellow Vibes (UK), Slimmah Sound feat. Lyrical Benjie (NL), Leones Humildes (SP), Legal Shot Sound System (Fr), Steppin’ Forward (FR), Nyabin Sound (FR), Rootikaly Movement (SP), Roots Meditation (FR), Equal Brothers Sound System (FR), Salomon Heritage Sound System (FR), Dub Livity Sound System (FR), Zion Gate Hi-Fi (FR), I-Skankers Hi-Fi (FR), Dawa Hi-Fi (FR), Jah Militant Sound System (FR), Red Lion Sound System (FR).
