Regrettably, The Pioneers will not be playing at the World in Princes Park event, due to the fact the group have recently disbanded. Sincere apologies to The Pioneers. They have NOT disbanded. I was given incorrect information by the Brouhaha press office. Take a look at The Pioneers website: www.pioneersreggaegroup.com
The festival is proud to welcome legendary reggae superstars DAWN PENN & AMBELIQUE, with backing band the DELROY WILLIAMS ACES.
