Bob Marley in an attempt to link Jamaica's feuding political parties symbolically joined the hands of bitter rivals Michael Manley and Edward Seaga on stage. His efforts on peace did not go unnoticed. Late in 1978 Bob Marley received the Peace Medal of the Third World from the United Nations. He was also declared Jamaica's "Man of the Millennium".
This 30th anniversary celebration will highlight this land mark occasion and the legendary artist while pushing the theme for Peace, acceptance, celebrating life, and multi-cultural diversity. The festival will have bands from musical genres such as reggae, dub, chill out, deep electronic, and indie.
I have got a crew together as it is my birthday on 15th August! Going to be wicked!!!
