The summer festival features the likes of Barrington Levy, Destra, Don Omar, Third World, Cedric The Entertainer, Future, and the Virgin Islands' own reggae musician Pressure Busspipe.

"Special events such as Music Fest help to drive business throughout the summer months," said Beverly Nicholson-Doty, Commissioner of Tourism for the United States Virgin Islands. "We are looking forward to, not only enjoying some great music and entertainment, but also welcoming many visitors and festival goers to Charlotte Amalie next month," she added.
