The largest organic, outdoor, medicinal cannabis competition in the world, the Emerald Cup, is coming back to the Sonoma County Fairgrounds in Santa Rosa this December 12-13, and, as always, it is bringing an enormous array of vendors, guest speakers and live music with it.
Today, the Cup announced the full band lineup for this year’s edition, and it’s packed with reggae, world, fusion, rock and soul acts from around the country.
Headlining the Emerald Cup is Rebelution, the Santa Barbara outfit who specialize in the “California Reggae” sound that grinds together roots and dance hall melodies alike. Oakland’s Beats Antique are also scheduled, bringing their experimental electro-dance music. If you want a taste of Beats Antique check out their brand new live album, Creature Carnivale.
Vying for farthest-traveled is Bermuda MC Collie Buddz, who’s often booked across the globe at festivals like Lollapalooza and Outside Lands. He’s also one of the biggest proponents of the cannabis movement, unless that moniker is a total coincidence (it’s not).
Next on the bill is North Bay favorite Nahko and Medicine for the People, recent headliners at this year’s Petaluma Music Festival. Also slated to appear is Papadosio, Protoje, Fortunate Youth, John Brown’s Body, The Expanders and Marv Ellis & We Tribe.
