Legendary reggae artist, Dawn Penn, will grace the stage at this year’s Positive Vibration – Festival of Reggae, joining an already stellar line-up, which includes Asian Dub Foundation, Mad Professor, Hollie Cook, Twinkle Brothers, Gentleman’s Dub Club, Zion Train, General Levy, Congo Natty, Mungo’s Hi Fi, Neville Staple, Jah Wobble, Tippa Irie and Benjamin Zephaniah.

One of the original queens of reggae music, Penn released her first single “When I’m Gonna Be Free” in 1966, followed in 1967 by rocksteady favourite, “You Don’t Love Me” – produced by Coxsone Dodd at Studio One. Re-recorded and released in 1994, “You Don’t Love Me (No, No, No)” has become one of reggae’s most iconic and celebrated songs.
