JAMAICAN and legendary dub producer KING JAMMY commented, "I feel great about EDM coming to JAMAICA because most people don't know it originated here. I am not just an innovator, I am a fan and for my performance I'm going to perform never-before-heard tracks with a back-to-the future effect while mixing live on stage. I listen to artists like BASSNECTAR and it makes me feel good that the dream is still alive and being built upon by today's talented artists."
 
The 135-acre GRIZZLY'S PLANTATION COVE in ST. ANN was chosen because of the natural beauty of the land, but more significantly its rich cultural history as the birthplace of BOB MARLEY, MARCUS GARVEY, BURNING SPEAR and SHABBA RANKS. It was there that LEE SCRATCH PERRY discovered THE WAILERS.

Event partner and PARADISE LOST spokesperson JASON NEWMAN said: "PARADISE LOST will host 75,000 visitors ages 18-49 over the three-day period, and as for the economic impact the event will bring to JAMAICA, an estimated 2300 jobs will accompany the festival with millions of dollars in revenues being generated. We are thrilled to bring tourists to the island and bring JAMAICAN culture and hospitality to the festival community."
