Third World — Reggae Lake Festival, 2025

Why this recording

Shot and edited by the team behind the Reggae Live Concerts channel, which has been covering Reggae Lake Festival since at least 2018, the video is published in 4K, with live sound mastering credited to Frits Panday. It is an independent production, not affiliated with the band. The hour-long show follows the shape of a festival slot, and the setlist noted on the page saves two detours for the end: “Redemption Song”, then “Time to Say Goodbye (Con te partirò)”, an unexpected choice for a reggae band.

Filmed live concert by Third World at the Reggae Lake Festival 2025, captured at Gaasperpark in Amsterdam and released in 4K. Formed in Kingston in 1973, the Jamaican band established itself as one of reggae’s international “ambassadors”, fusing roots, soul, funk and R&B — a colour that earned it both loyalty and longevity. More than fifty years after its debut, Third World delivers here a full festival concert drawing on its landmark repertoire: “Reggae Ambassador”, “Now That We Found Love”, “Loving You Is Easy”, “Irie Ites”, the cover of “Satta Massagana” and “African Woman”. Before the Dutch audience, the group unfolds its signature reggae groove, between horn lines, keyboards and vocal harmonies. A carefully shot capture by Reggae Live Concerts (live sound mix: Frits Panday), this live performance documents the onstage vitality of a band that has become a reggae institution. Year: 2025. This full concert, filmed in 4K, is available to watch online.
