Next up is Groundation.

6pm: great set from Groundation. Still a beautiful day here. Crowd in great form. Call out the instigators because there's something in the air!

7pm: Crowd waiting for Morgan Heritage to make an appearance.

7.30pm: Morgan Heritage take to the stage creating an awesome vibe but it's dinner time so we're off to check out the food stalls. There's some delicious options though I think we'll give the Jamaican curry goat a miss.

9pm: Crowd is waiting for the big finale, Damian Marley. There seems to be a bit of delay which is causing a bit of suspense. Stay tuned.
