reggea at glastonbury

[Adam34]

I was just wondering if anyone out there could point me in the direction of any good reggea acts to catch at glasto, i think i am going to pass on the Toots(even though they are one of the 2 acts i want to see the most) as they clash with faithless who i think will be immense.

Also i like most music(not heavy metal or crappy pop thou) and enjoy hearing new bands with an original sound, however i think i must be getting old as i have to admit i have not even heard of a large amount of acts playing this year. so am looking for a bit of guidance from people who are in the know.

Am of out for the day know, so hopefully when i get back there will be lots of advice and answers, many thanks.

Do you know Dreadzone? They were awesome at Dance East last year -

- this year they are playing the Glade Stage on Saturday.

I've never caught Dreadzone at Glasto which is a shocking admission. I'd recommend the Dub Pistols though- they are properly ace.

gentleman's dub club! Probably Chai Wallah's stage again.

If they can say Dreadzone, I can say On U Sound / Adrian Sherwood.

Neither are really reggae, but who cares?

Why are you going to pass on the legendary Toots?!?!

+1 on Dreadzone, Toots, an Dub Pistols.

Jerry Dammers and Spacial orchestra sounds interesting.

Neville Staple and The Orb get my vote also.

I know some of these are stretching "reggae" a bit.

Transglobal Underground do some dub tunes, but some awesome "world" beats also, nailed on for me.

I didn't go last year but I'm sure I read somewhere that there was a reggae soundsystem on Williams Green. Did I imagine this?

[Spiky Mike]

Toots were awesome last time, even though it was lashing with rain!

I must admit i wrote of most of the West Holts line up when it was announced, mainly because i had never heard of well over half of them,since then i have listend more to them on Spotify and You Tube,still don't like the rap stuff at all,but will definatley be there for Toots, Dr John and Rodrigo Y Gabrelia on the Sunday.

I saw these guys at the weekend, and if their un-rehearsed-ness is excused (it was the first time they'd played together for 6 months) then they're excellent and well worth seeing.

Glad you liked them - I thought they were good too.

it took them a while to get into the swing of things, but when they did I defo liked them.

I remember the G-stage having a lot of reggae DJs last year in dance village.
