Fresh from the main stage at Glastonbury Festival, Jamaica’s enduring reggae ambassadors Third World arrive in Hastings with their full live band and brass section. Formed in Kingston in 1973, the band are celebrated for blending roots reggae with soul, funk, R&B, and rock — a sound they’ve described as “putting branches on top of the roots.”
With classics like “96° in the Shade” and “Now That We’ve Found Love”, and collaborations with Bob Marley, Stevie Wonder, Damian Marley, and more, Third World are global icons. Still led by founding members Stephen “Cat” Coore and Richard Daley, the band bring decades of experience, positivity, and soul-stirring musicianship to the stage.
