"It's always a pleasure performing on Moonsplash festival over the years. Moonsplash to me has been more than just a festival it has been a way of life and a family reunion at times. I've played many roles over the years from accompanying my dad on stage at age 9 or lining the beach with Candles with my best friend in primary school to ensure the mood is set for the nights headline act, it always a special time of year. This year is especially special as it is the 25 anniversary of Moonsplash and the vibes are running high. I'm super excited to put in a performance that I'm proud of and that will be remembered in the years to come" - Omari Banks Moonsplash was founded by Bankie Banx and Sheriff Bob Saidenberg in 1991 as a roving music festival.
