1. Reggae Sumfest (Montego Bay, Jamaica; July 13-19)
Reggae Sumfest is, without a doubt, the biggest annual stageshow in Jamaica, and the biggest summertime music event in the Caribbean, running a full week from start to finish. Sumfest organizers announce their guests in chunks, leading all the way up to the big event, so the list of artists performing this summer right now only offers a partial picture of what’s to come. But it’s already filled with a massive set names for both the dancehall and international nights: Busy Signal, Sean Paul, Chronixx, I-Octane, Jah Cure, Aidonia, Tessanne Chin, Beenie Man, Sanchez, Future, Jason Derulo and Wiz Khalifa.
