Raggamuffin returns in 2012

Tue 26th Jul, 2011 in Local News

Raggamuffin will return in January 2012 to celebrate its 5th birthday with shows in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth and New Zealand headlined by Ali Campbell’s UB40

Last year’s Raggamuffin festival lineup included Mary J. Blige, Jimmy Cliff, Maxi Priest, Sean Paul and The Original Wailers was forced to cut prices and reduce venue sizes at the last minute, but despite last year’s setbacks Raggamuffin promoter Andrew McManus has promised that “Our 5th anniversary event will be our biggest yet” and that “fans will be blown away when they hear who’s coming” in 2012.

The full lineup will be released on Thursday 4th August – will it include a member of the Marley clan? Only time will tell…

Update: Here’s the lineup
Ali Campbell’s UB40
Billy Ocean
Marvin Priest
Big Mountain
Junior Marvin
Nkulee Dube
Plus more to be announced soon.

Raggamuffin headlined by OFWGKTA. Would go to watch all the reggae dudes get scared by the constant "rape bitches" chanting
