It's not only festival revellers who are getting excited to attend this year's Island Vibe Festival.
Judging by the answers from a swag of this year's IV performers, the artists are equally amped to get across to the island for a healthy dose of island time.

"Dancing salsa to Havana Meets Kingston, having a beer with Evil Eddie and bouncing to Bullhorn." - Drop Legs

"The thing I look forward to every year is having some time out of the city rat race. Me and a bunch of sexy ladies get a house each year; we've done this for the past seven years on the same street. We take the kids, we take the dogs, we take heaps of exotic fruits, and every board game gets a good work out. I look most forward to hang times with the crew with lots of watermelon." - Ofa Fanaika
"Pristine beaches, the honour of performing with an all star line-up and it'll be my first day back from the US, so I'll be relishing in the insurmountable freedom, quality of life and natural beauty Australia graces us with." - Amy Jane of The Crashcats
