On 20 and 21 August, the eighth edition of the Montreal International Reggae Festival will pull out all the stops. The festival, created in 2003 and which has drawn more than 150,000 spectators, is announcing a particularly mouth-watering programme.
The bill is split over two nights: the Dancehall Night, with Mavado, Gyptian and Jahvinci, and the Lover's Rock Night, which welcomes a number of Jamaican legends: Beres Hammond, Third World, but also The Heptones (Robert "Nago" Morris and Earl Morgan), The Soul Vendors, Willi Williams, Sharon Tucker and Lester Sterling, who are all expected on the quays of the Old Port.
Also on the programme, but on the Club Lounge EB stage from Friday, the sound systems Killamanjaro and Black Kat.
Full details of the programme at the festival's official site.
