Rototom Sunsplash Venue Announced


The location of the seventeenth edition of Rototom Sunsplash is to be held in the town of Benicassim, situated on the Mediterranean coast in the province of Castellon, just 88km from Valencia, from 21st to 28th August.

The Rototom Sunsplash is now just about the biggest reggae gathering in Europe with crowds in the region of 130,000 people from around the world.
The festival is held in high esteem and regarded as the European ambassador for the Jamaican reggae as well as a recognised voice for peace, human rights, sustainable development and positivity – in a conscious effort to build “Un altro mondo possible” (another possible world).

The festival is usually held in Italy but despite this change in location organisers say they will maintain its musical format: as well featuring the usual meetings, debates, courses, art exhibitions, films and documentaries, meditation seminaries, holistic therapies and many other activities, largely from non profit organisations.

Tickets are due to go on presale along with announcement of the first artists on the line-up very soon.
