Red Stage - For the crowd

The traditional main stage was again the stage for the big names: Seeed, Gentleman, ...

Food for thought - the Green stage is for the professionals

On the green stage Summerjam audience had the chance to see the real big acts: Veterans like Israel Vibration, Dawn Penn and todays most pressing artists like Groundation and Nosliw

Marketplace for food and sound

The former White Tent now has been pushed and organised by Germany's number one Dancehall Club: In the U-Club tent new sound acts had the chance for big shows. Especially the Soca Night on Friday was a must! Big Up U-Club!

The artists 2005 - they thanked summerjam and the audience with good performances

Israel Vibration: wicked original show

- Dawn Penn: everlasting not only on "No No No"

I

Nosliw: Brilliant performance

Alpha Blondy: Powerful

Half Pint - Back on European stages

Ward 21: Only "real" hardcore act

Impressions

One more week to go ...
