Your best reggae/ska recommendation?

[Crystal Waters]

What would your best reggae/ska band suggestion be for this year at

[Homer]

Neville staple band - it's Specials greatest hits.

[Avalon_Fields]

Neville staple band - it's Specials greatest hits.

Yes, he is fantastic, playing at the Avalon Stage.

[cornish hick]

Chronixx is a young reggae chap. the blues area not announced their line up yet. Plenty of ska around Avalon, Neville as mentioned Chainska Brassika, Gringo Ska and prob more.

[tolywoly]

Neville staple band - it's Specials greatest hits.

Yep, a must see for me.

He usually throws in a couple of Toots covers too - Pressure Drop, Monkey Man... Maybe the latter counts as a Specials song.

[eFestivals]

I know (unless it fell thru at the last moment) for certain there's a reggae act to be announced for West Holts - tho I have no idea who it is.

For some reason my head is telling me it'll be Winston Rodney, so I'm keeping my fingers firmly crossed that it is (tho it's probably wrong).

[Wanderlei]

Hopefully it'll be Prince Buster...if he still performs.

[STEVEYBOY]

Dreadzone for me. Always good times reggae dancing to be had with them

The blues always have reggae djs late on at least one night and some great djs and mc's during the day as well, I stumbled upon some right party's in there the last couple of years

+1 for this

The specials covered both mate. Check out the pressure drop cover - it's v good.

Something a little different. Mungo's HiFi... Confirmed on twitter.

Well worth a listen.

[Crystal Waters]

Thank you everybody

I'm getting so excited now.

We'll be spending a lot of time away from The Pyramid this year I reckon. Avalon and West Holts are my favourite areas of the festival.

He's a highlight on Brave Sir Robin's playlist for me at the mo

[Pbird81]

Might end up seeing all the Avalon headliners this year...

Idlewild>Who

Neville Staples > Kanye

(For me at least...)

[BigPapi]

Something a little different. Mungo's HiFi... Confirmed on twitter.

Well worth a listen.

Yes. F'N Yes.

[coma girl]

Neville staple band - it's Specials greatest hits.

One of my must sees.

I'm not really into the more modern dance hall end of things so I'm hoping for a few djs or bands who play classic ska and reggae and rock steady style stuff.

[ImGonnaLive4eva]

anybody know which stage Mungo's are playing on?!

[Wanderlei]

Neville would definitely be a good alternative to Kanye.

[CC_93]

anybody know which stage Mungo's are playing on?!

I saw them a couple of times last years, at blues and cave i think.

Hopefully they'll do the same again

[CaledonianGonzo]

Would assume The Blues. Think they've already done it a few times.

[hjglasto]

Something a little different. Mungo's HiFi... Confirmed on twitter.

Well worth a listen.

They're great. Seen them three times, once was a DJ set in a guy's bedroom at an after party for them. Nice guys as well, it speaks volumes that they'll hear of a house with decks and just turn up.

[Ted Dansons Wig]

Assuming they're on and that Gaz Mayall is curating again - The Trojans in the Rocket Lounge 1 am Sunday morning
