RealBeat Reggae Festival 2010 @ Česká Lípa-Žizníkov

The biggest reggae festival in Czech Republic

Summertime is festival time!

And in Czech it means: its reggae time!

On the first weekend of July, 1 .-3. 7., will the festival celebrate its 12th anniversary. For this reason RealBeat is the biggest and oldest reggae festival in Czech Republic. The country is known for its great atmosphere. You can smoke your spliff in peace, enjoy cheap beer and listen to great music, all this for just 20Euro.





The line up is this year extraordinary. On stage will perform Toots & The Maytals. The legend from Jamaica gave with the song “Do the Reggay” to the whole genre its name and is according to the magazine “Rolling Stone” one of the best 100 singers of the history. Toots Hibberts got the Grammy for the best reggae album of the year. He is a veteran in the music business, but sill full of energy on stage.



For all the dancehall fans: the second headliner on the RealBeat festival will be T.O.K.! The charming quartet is performing with their band 303Band. The Jamaican boy group is with all their energy and hits a guaranteed activator for dancing.



But that’s of course not all! Directly from England are coming General Levy, Top Cat, Deadly Hunta and Mungo’s Hi-Fi with their own sound system.

From Venezuela is the ska-band Sin Sospechas coming, the EU Reggae Contest Winner for Denmark Mystic MC with the band Budapest band, and from Germany the singer U-cee & Royal Family.



Also bands from Czech Rebublic are performing. Did you hear already something of Sto zvířat, Švihadlo, Fast Food Orchestra or Mr. Cocoman & Solid Vibez? No? Then it’s maybe time.



This are the headliner for the live stage. But the live stage is just one of 5!!

There will be also a Dancehall Yard, Mungo’s Hi-Fi Dubstation, a Rootsreggae corner and Latino stage, with a lot of reggaeton.

Finally feat. Eric Marienthal@ Jazz Dock

When Eric was just 10 years old he used to dream of becoming a professional musician, to make his own records and tour around the world. When he first started playing his saxophone in 5th grade he really had no idea what all that even meant. Well, after having performed in over 60 different countries, recording 10 solo CD’s and playing on hundreds of other records, films, television shows and commercial jingles, Eric has definitely exceeded those musical goals he set for himself way back then.
