This year's Sunday headliners will include Shaggy among other international artists. Feel his energy in Vinoy Park on June 13, 2010.
 Jamaican born Shaggy (Orville Richard Burrell) is the dancehall/reggae
singer who is noted for his distinctive, raspy sub-baritone voice. His
primary success has come from his third studio album Boombastic
(1995), which produced the No.1 (UK) single "Boombastic", but it was
his fifth studio album Hot Shot (2000) that proved the most
successful with the misogynistic hit single "It Wasn't Me". Featuring
the guest vocals of singer RikRok, the song tells of advice from one
friend to another to just deny it when his girlfriend catches him with
another woman. The single was Shaggy's first No.1 hit in the US. He
followed it up with the single "Angel" this time with guest vocalist
Rayvon, it also reached No.1 and helped Hot Shot achieve
multi-platinum status. In September 2007 Shaggy released his eighth
studio album Intoxication, on his own record label Big Yard
Records.
