King Shiloh Sound System, based in Amsterdam, Netherlands, is an internationally recognised roots reggae sound system. It was founded with inspiration drawn from the teachings of Jah Rastafari. The Rastafari movement, which began in Jamaica in the 1930s, has significantly influenced reggae music. This movement combines elements of Protestant Christianity, mysticism, and a pan-African political consciousness. Reggae music, popularized globally by artists like Bob Marley, emerged from the Rastafari movement, reflecting its themes and spiritual messages.

Showcasing alongside King Shiloh during this year's event are some of the finest sound systems from South Africa, such as Eekamouz Big Bad Sound, TrenchTown Rock Sound System, Giggs Pro Sound System, and Boom Sound King Roots Intl Sound. All these well-known sound systems add something special with style and flair, which enables the Dub-heads to indulge in an immense set of variants.
