2 Tone icons The Selecter will headline Liverpool's Positive Vibration festival, which takes place between Friday 9th and Saturday 10th June 2017. The weekender will celebrate reggae music and wider Jamaican heritage with a focus on music, arts and cuisine.
The legendary group were a major part of the ska revival that hit the UK in the late 70s and early 80s, tackling social ills like sexism and racism whilst delivering top tens such as 'On My Radio' (below)
Lead singer Pauline Black will join the panel at the festival's reggae Q & A which dovetails with the Art of Reggae Exhibition and, naturally, a great Positive Vibrations line up to make for a stellar 2017 event. At this year's UK Festival awards, Positive Vibration scooped the Best New Festival award - find out why by grabbing your Positive Vibration tickets from the box below.
