Jammin Festival owners have also acknowledged that the timing of the event this year couldn’t be better.
“Next week is Bob Marley’s birthday so Jammin Festival, which features the reggae legend’s son Julian, is a great way to acknowledge his impact on our music,” Jammin’s Matthew Spratt said.
“It’s also timely that the movie based on Bob Marley’s life, One Love, is released this month so we see Jammin Fest as the ultimate prequel to both of these events.”
