9. Uppsala Reggae Festival (Uppsala, Sweden), August 4-6
The lineup at Uppsala reads like a chronological who’s who of reggae history, spanning the ’60s and ’70’s (Toots, Ken Boothe, Heptones, Johnny Clarke) straight up to current artists like Richie Spice, Queen Ifrica, Mr. Vegas and Gyptian. Scandanavians love them some reggae–more than people from elsewhere would ever guess. If Denmark’s Natasja were still around, you can bet she’d have a major slot on this fest.
