The lineup includes an A-list roster of legendary reggae artists including Collie Buddz, The Movement, Israel Vibration, and Don Carlos. Plus dance party vibes with The Polish Ambassador, BoomBox, and DJ Matt Cassidy.

The festival will conclude on Sunday with a Softlanding Set featuring Heavy Diamond Ring followed by Rapidgrass with special guest Mark Levy.

“We are really excited to mix it up and do some reggae with an epic lineup for our biggest summer festival. We love the combination of OG stars like Don Carlos and Isreal Vibration mixed with the younger alternative-reggae bands. We are always excited to bring back The Polish Ambassador who will perform on The LAWN as well as in the Ivy Ballroom for one of the two after-party shows” said Co-Founder, and President of South Main and Surf Hotel Jed Selby.

The festival will also feature two unforgettable after-party concerts in the Surf Hotel’s Ivy Ballroom featuring BoomBox on Friday and The Polish Ambassador on Saturday.

Friday’s headliner Collie Buddz who grew up on the islands of Bermuda, rose to prominence in the early to mid-2000s, with hits like “Come Around” and “Mamacita.” His third and latest studio album “Hybrid” hit No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard reggae charts shortly after its 2019 release. Saturday’s headliner features The Movement, an alternative-reggae band that has been winning fans over since its inception in Columbia, SC in 2003.

Drawing inspiration from Sublime, 311, Slightly Stoopid, and John Brown’s Body, they’ve come to be known as musical shapeshifters with a foundation of heavy drum and bass. Their sixth studio album, Ways Of The World, was released on June 7, 2019, as the highly anticipated follow-up to 2016’s Golden.
