Reggae Sunsplash of Jamaica, the great music festival that set the model for reggae festivals around the world, will return in November 2020, after an absence of 14 years. Reggae Sunsplash 2020 will be held at Grizzly's Plantation Cove, Priory, St. Ann, a spacious outdoor location located near Ocho Rios on the north coast of Jamaica.

Founded by Synergy Productions, the opening of the Reggae Sunsplash took place from June 23 to 28, 1978 in the island's tourist capital, Montego Bay, and featured six evening concerts from dusk until dawn showing several of the best acts of Jamaican reggae, including Jimmy Cliff, Burning Spear, Jacob Miller and Inner Circle, Third World and Toots and the Maytals . Sunsplash was held every summer between 1978 and 1992 in Montego Bay, except in 1980, when it was held in the capital of Jamaica, Kingston, using the Jarrett Park soccer field and the Bob Marley Entertainment Center as its headquarters. The festival moved around the island between 1993 and 1996, with unique events in 1998 and 2006.
