The 27th edition of Rototom Sunsplash, a European festival already awarded by Unesco in 2010 with recognition as an event that promotes the culture of peace, is scheduled for August 16-22 in Benicàssim (Spain). After two years of silence imposed by the Covid emergency, the festival returns with a rich program of musical events, cultural contents, art, food and the typical welcome that has always characterized the event. In the seven days of the event over 100 artists from 20 countries around the world, more than 50 concerts, 25 sound systems, 20 areas on a total area of over 130 thousand square meters. It starts with Burning Spear (Winston Rodney), the Jamaican roots reggae singer par excellence, fueling a distinctly roots show with his long-awaited return to the stage. Together with him other strong pieces of the genre such as Luciano, Black Uhuru, The Abyssinians, Max Romeo, Clinton Fearon, Horace Andy & Dub Asante Band or Sly Dunbar and The Revolutionaries. Then Marley’s current reggae Damian ‘Jr. Gong ‘e Julian, Morgan Heritage or Alborosie, passing through the opening at Afrobeat led by Davido and a different musical range, as is the festival itself, where there is no shortage of ska (The Skatalites), dub (OBF), dancehall (Sean Paul), Hip-Hop (Mala Rodríguez) or cumbia (La Dame Blanche). The Rototom 2022 ‘parade of stars’ will be an essential witness to the return of Burning Spear, one of reggae’s most influential artists, elevated to the podium of Jamaican music together with Bob Marley and Dennis Brown. Benicàssim will be an exclusive show in Spain. In 2016 he announced his retirement and few hoped to be able to listen to him live anymore. The reunion of Burning Spear with the public at Rototom defines the particularity of this edition. The event is completed by a rich program of activities for all types of public. In the twenty areas in which the festival is divided, there will be ample space for food & beverage with 15 food and wine stands from 15 countries around the world. From Turkish kebab to African gastronomy, from proposals for vegetarians, vegans, celiacs and kids menus, to be enjoyed with beer, cocktails or non-alcoholic drinks, all served with plastic-free materials, straws, plates, glasses and bio-compostable cutlery. Space for culture and comparison with debates, conferences and workshops, but also sports and workshops, a market with 100 stands and areas dedicated to families and children. A range of complete services such as equipped camping, 24-hour health assistance, facilitated access for the disabled, kitchen, toilets, parking lots and info points, will be available to the public for a comfortable experience for everyone. Rototom has also always been committed to the environment. Recycling waste, reducing the consumption of materials, using renewable energy sources and promoting good practices, have made it one of the greenest festivals in Europe. From separate collection to water recycling, from reducing the use of paper to LED lighting powered by solar panels. If the last edition of 2019 recorded the presence of 202 thousand people from 76 different countries, for this year the expectation is over 230 thousand.
