First Names: Bounce Dancehall

Our Bounce Dancehall tent is traditionally covered in sweat the first weekend of August—this hot lineup will undoubtedly achieve that this year. A blazing mix of international geniuses, local gems, and the occasional maverick.

Bounce Dancehall: blazing hot party vibes

Chi Ching Ching crosses the ocean to smash Reggae Geel’s dancehall tent to absolute madness with his unique track show. Whenever he’s not on tour or in the studio with Sean Paul, he’s making waves with his own career. Think: hot-blooded beats, contagious toasting, and hyperactive riddims with a laid-back side dish to pour ice on those scorching crowds.

Seani B makes his mark in the UK as DJ, producer, and presenter of Seani B Mixlab on BBC1. Stringing together his awards would blind the eye like a Bling Bling chain. He created remixes for Lauren Hill, Pras, Sugababes, and Shaggy–never once disappointing. He’s bound to shatter our Bounce into absolute bliss.
