(4/3/03, 1 p.m. ET) -- Dancehall reggae's Wayne Wonder, Sean Paul, and Beenie Man are set to perform at this summer's Reggae Sumfest. Buju Banton, Capleton, Tanto Metro & Devonte, Elephant Man, Lady Saw, and Third World are also on the bill for the annual festival. This year's Sumfest will take place July 20-26 in Montego Bay, Jamaica. For more info, go to reggaesumfest.com.

Wonder, who's known for the chart-topper "No Letting Go," comes from Jamaica, where soccer is known as football. Wonder says he was really good at the sport, and that's where his stage name comes from. "I was, like, a dead-ball specialist, so they called me Wayne Wonder, so it just went over in my music," Wonder said.
