sumfest has never been my thing personally... you can get most of the jamaican artists at fully loaded on the 26th at james bond beach (ochi) for a 10th of the price...

the big attraction to the jamaican is the american artists... typically not ones you'd travel down there to see... i thought port royal music fest has gotten better billings from the US personally...

sumfest sometimes has a trick or two up their sleeves, posting their biggest names 2 weeks or less before the show, but again, they're usually US names...

if you're still down there for the 5th - 9th, Negril is the place to be, best parties on the island all year... (ATI)
