I know a few of my DJ friends like to hate on Good Vibrations for various reasons, but of the major festivals they have always had a good line up of acts for folks that enjoy their hip hop and soul roots in general.
Over the years, I have some nice memories of seeing a range of artists like Talib Kweli and Jean Grae, Estelle (before American Boy), Lee Scratch Perry & The Mad Professor, DJ Marky, Soul II Soul and Q-Tip. To bigger names like Kayne West, Snoop Dogg and Busta Rhymes who just murdered it last year.
However, this line up is possibly the best ever. I for one am really looking forward to this. Hopefully we can hook up some interviews.

Tickets Available from Moshtix. So maybe purchase them now, rather than waiting until they sell out to call around in desperation trying to score a ticket. Motherfuckers think I got keys to the city. I can’t do nothing for you man.
