THE BEATDOWN (MTL SKA/SOUL)
They call it northern reggae, a one-hundred proof blend of raspy rocksteady, sizzling soul, surf swagger and rock'n'roll pedigree shaken (not stirred) with a double shot of the roughest dub your ears have ever tasted. Pour it into a highball glass over some ice-cold lyrics and you’ve got The Beatdown’s sound. Tough as nails, catchy as hell.. 

THE SENTRIES (The Official HOUSE OF TARG SKA Band)
The Sentries are a ska, reggae & rocksteady band from Ottawa, ON, Canada. Evolved from decades of combined musical experience, and dozens of performing groups both past and present, their rock solid foundation is formed from an ever expanding crew of hard working musicians, with ties across all branches of music.
they will be performing 2 LIVE SETS!

And of course:
The VOICE OF THE PEOPLE DJ LORD SNAPPY + Longshot playing nothing but the best in Ska, Rocksteady and Reggae all spun live on vintage 45s. Expect classics such as Toots and the Maytals, Derrick Morgan, Prince Buster, and much much more!
