An all-star reggae band led by DEAN FRASER will back all performances with TOMMY COWAN hosting the show.

“I’ve always felt our response to the havoc created by the hurricanes was going to be a defining moment for the CARIBBEAN," said JOE BOGDANOVIC, leader of the CARIBBEAN LOVE NOW campaign. "I now also see it as a defining moment for Jamaican music as every artist we’ve reached out to for this benefit concert has said “Yes!” ... and we’re not done calling yet.”

Proceeds from the money raised by CARIBBEAN LOVE NOW will go directly to the people and countries affected by HURRICANES IRMA and MARIA. Fans across the world will be able to experience CARIBBEAN LOVE NOW JAMATHON via live stream on YOUTUBE at the REGGAE SUMFEST Live Streaming & Video channel. An online donation site will be announced shortly through which global contributions will be accepted.
