i have seen some great shows from reggae artists at glastonbury.i hope that they can book some more reggae stars this year,i would love to see prince fatty and little roy.
who would you like to see?

[eFestivals]

Stephen Marley.

Or Julian, or Damian (with or without Nas). Or how about the Abyssinians? They're touring the UK next month.

Dennis Bovell would be superb. Or any of these: Steel Pulse (again). LKJ. Ini Kamoze. Twinkle Brothers. Junior Murvin. Eek-a-Mouse. Horace. Lee Scratch Perry. Johnny Clarke. Max Romeo. ....?

Best of all would be Junior Byles, but that would be wishing for a bit too much I fear, given the state of his health.

Sadly, too many have been dropping dead lately. Gregory, Sugar, and more.

We've already got Jimmy Cliff of course.

There's a superb young white reggae band from Leicester called 'By The Rivers'. Their first EP is a little bland, but they were hugely better live and went down a storm at last year's Summer Sundae.

[The Nal]

BBC 4 doing a couple of shows on reggae from next week

[Steve P]

I'd love to see Fat Freddys Drop playing

The field would be rammed - just watched the episode where all the 'Cheese' goes missing.

There's a rat in me kitchen...

There'll be kids selling bags of 'cheese' all over the kids field

Gappy Ranks blazed it up at Shangri-la last year, looking forward to Jimmy Cliff but would like to see the likes of Gappy, Gyptian, Tarrus Riley & Alborosie, this is 2011!

[Atterz123]

Completely excited for Jimmy Cliff. If Glasto fails to deliver on the reggae front i'm getting a boomtown fair ticket. A great band would be East Park Reggae Collective, they played my union a couple of weeks back and it was fantastic.

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

THIRDING RASTAMOUSE. Like a bit of cheese with my burger.

[fullalove]

Went to the studio of Prince Fatty when I was working for a music PR company. He was recording this album at the time, was such a great day, really talented band and he is such a nice guy. Had plenty to drink and smoke that day lol

[theboneykingofnowhere13]

there's a brilliant indie/reggae band from sheffield called "Arkham Karvers"

really taking the sheffield scene by storm, I'd love to see them at glasto.

they're currently attempting to get on the bill at y-not festival

they need people to vote for them though! if you have a spare minute please go onto this facebook status, and "like" the comment that says arkham karvers!

http://www.facebook....&id=17124674333

you may need to like the y-not festival page first to do so.

they're a relatively new band, trying to do something a little different.

apologies for the spam.

Oh god I hate reggae so much. Still, if some people want to watch it then it'll free up space for me elsewhere...

[Vieuphoria]

I would like Toots back so I can see them

[blackcockerel]

Has Lee "Scratch" Perry ever played? That'd be great, and Eek A Mouse too
