I travelled and camped with fellow Steemians @shammyshiggs @bobbins and @pedrosgali Steem actually paid for our petrol for the 500 mile round trip :)
This is a pic of us just after we watched the amazing Toots and the Maytalls. Toots will outlive us all, so much energy for a man who's been in the business 50 years or more.
The line-up this year was just incredible. My highlight was SUBLIME on the Town Hall stage, I never thought I’d get to see them ever so that just made my whole festival.
Below is a pic of The Lion's Den Stage in Trench Town district just before Toots came on. Absolutely mind blowing how many people were there. The crowds were friendly, everyone looked out for each other. The Lion's Den specialised in Reggae throughout the festival and was designed to look like a something from Indiana Jones.
Cyprus Hill were also amazing and again, a band I thought I’d never get to see live. Here is a list of the headlining acts, this poster only has about a quarter of the whole act list on there. There are too many to place on one poster.

We tried to make our way to every area throughout the festival. In the next post I'll be showing in more detail some of the hidden gems and details we found on our travels.
