"What is most striking is the way Third World effortlessly manage to blend reggae with funk to produce something quite remarkable and unique. The quality of the musicianship is a joy to behold and that vital element is supplemented by soulful – verging on gospel at times – harmonies and a powerful set of lyrics". -Everythingsgonegreen
"...an institution that produces and performs music that is cutting edge, positive, progressive and internationally relevant." -The Daily Observer
Celebrating 45 years, THIRD WORLD is one of the longest-lived Reggae bands of all time, and one of Jamaica's most consistently popular crossover acts among international audiences. Mixing elements of R&B, funk, pop, and rock, and dancehall, Third World’s style has been described as "reggae-fusion".

With 10 Grammy nominations and catalogue of charted smash hits including "Try Jah Love" (co-written with Stevie Wonder) and a rendition ofthe O'Jays' "Now That We Found Love", Third World is more than just one of the top Reggae bands of all time, it is an institution.
Third World will perform with special guest opener, The Alchemystics.
The Alchemystics play a unique blend of roots music, effortlessly combining reggae, hip-hop, dub & soul music. Performances are well-polished, spellbinding celebrations of rhythm & song. Their music crosses boundaries and welcomes all to the experience.
