Get ready for a night of serious soundsystem culture! Two heavyweight soundsystems string up for a night of earthshaking bass, deep roots, heavy dub, steppas, and killer dancehall riddims - featuring live vocalists and instrumentalists throughout the night.

🔊 Rootsoup Soundsystem (Torquay)
Representing South Devon with pride, Rootsoup bring their full crew and full rig to Taunton for the first time. Known for their deep, clean sound and thunderous dub sessions, these veterans have been holding it down on the South West reggae scene for years. Expect deep roots and seismic steppas, played with passion.

🔊 Tansha Soundsystem (Taunton)
Taunton’s homegrown, hand-built rig returns in full force! With a crew of seasoned selectas and a stack blessed by the likes of Solo Banton, Count Skylarkin, Myki Dread and more, expect heavyweight dub and deep roots pressure all night long. Full system, full crew – strictly vibes.

🎷 Live Sax: Tim Hill & Simon Prince
Two top-tier saxophonists with deep roots in the UK reggae scene, bringing live, dubbed-out improvisation throughout the night. Raw, soulful, and straight from the heart of the session – just how we like it.
