The first artists booked for the 22nd edition of the Garance Reggae Festival, running from 24 to 27 July 2013 in Bagnols-sur-Cèze, have just been revealed.
Steel Pulse, Dub Inc, Busy Signal, Don Carlos, Everton Blender, The Tamlins and Naâman will be there.
New this year, the opening night will be entirely devoted to sound systems, with two dedicated stages:
- The "Lions Arena" will notably offer the chance to see a meeting between King Earthquake (UK) and Iration Steppas (UK), who will combine their respective full sound systems for the occasion!
- The "Dub Station Corner", which settled into the Parc Arthur Rimbaud, will keep making festivalgoers vibrate. It will notably host Chinese Man in sound system format (24 bass bins announced!) as well as a clash pitting the legendary sound system Killamanjaro against France's Soul Stereo. Finally, Blackboard Jungle will close this opening night on their own sound system.
4-day passes and tickets for the opening night are now available through ticketing networks, priced at €99 and €35 respectively.
