For fans of alternative hip-hop, Atmosphere will deliver a unique set that blends introspective lyrics with chill beats—an unexpected but welcome twist in the lineup. Their tracks like "Sunshine" and "Yesterday" will provide the perfect laid-back vibes for a Sunday afternoon.
Reggae favorites HIRIE and Passafire will also bring their infectious energy to the stage. HIRIE, with her lively stage presence and catchy tunes like "Sun and Shine," will keep the positive energy flowing, while Passafire's groovy rhythms are guaranteed to get the crowd moving.
Sunday also gives a chance to see some rising stars in the reggae world. Bands like Tropidelic, Tunnel Vision, and The Quasi Kings will bring fresh sounds and exciting performances to the final day. Tropidelic, known for their energetic shows and funky, reggae-influenced sound, will have the crowd on their feet, while Tunnel Vision and The Quasi Kings add their own unique flavors to the reggae mix.
And for a special treat, fans will be gifted a special performance by Rome, the voice of Sublime with Rome. Expect some nostalgic vibes as Rome dives into classic hits that will have everyone feeling that reggae-rock spirit that has defined the festival for years.
