Chuck Fenda packs Twann’s Lakesplash as European tour rolls on

Chuck Fenda brought a forceful headline set to the sold-out Lakesplash Festival in Twann, Switzerland, holding thousands of patrons with a lively show. Lakesplash ranks among Europe’s long-running reggae gatherings, and the crowd sang through much of the set — a sign of how deep his catalogue runs and how readily he reaches listeners of every age.

For the singer, the night ranked among the peaks of his career. “The most memorable moment was seeing thousands of people singing my songs word for word and feeling that connection from the stage. The energy was incredible. It reminded me that message music still has power and that reggae continues to unite people from all walks of life,” Chuck Fenda said. The reaction from the floor, he added, reinforced his view that genuine reggae still finds a home with audiences around the world.

“It meant everything to me. As an artiste, there’s no greater feeling than seeing people connect with your message. The love, the energy, and the respect the fans showed proved that real reggae music is alive and well. It was a blessing, and I give thanks to Jah for that moment,” he said.

A standout stretch of the show came when he delivered Wah Gwaan Pon Di Rock, the Junavill Records single he is now pushing. “Wah Gwaan Pon Di Rock is more than just a song, it’s a movement. I got the crowd involved by making them sing the chorus with me, and the response was amazing. It brought everyone together and lifted the energy to another level. Europe embraced it, and that moment will stay with me,” he said. How strongly the track landed pointed to rising interest abroad and gave the evening another high point.

Looking back on his years in the business, Chuck Fenda tied his staying power to faith, steady work, and a resolve to release music with meaning. “My success comes from staying true to my purpose, never compromising my message, working hard, and always giving my fans 100 per cent on and off the stage. Consistency, faith and perseverance have kept the living fire burning,” he said.

He also thanked fans across Europe for backing him without fail over the years. “From the bottom of my heart, thank you for the love and support throughout the years. You have always embraced my music and my message. I don’t take that for granted. I promise to keep bringing the fire, the positive vibrations, and real reggae music. Much love and respect to all my European family,” he said.

His European run resumes next month at the Turnpike Reggae Festival in Germany on August 14 and 15, where he is again set to present his brand of conscious reggae.
