Why see Reggae Fest with Vybz Kartel?
The Return of Vybz Kartel
Vybz Kartel is free, and he's back to perform his first show in the US in over 20 years! Nominated for a GRAMMY for Best Reggae Album this year with his Party With Me EP, Vybz is one of the biggest and most influential artists Jamaica has ever produced. Worl Boss, Teacha, the King of the Dancehall, whichever name you bestow upon him, the dancehall deejay's long-awaited return - which some thought may never happen is set to be a seismic event in the annals of music history and you won't want to miss it.
Changing the face of Jamaican Dancehall and Reggae music throughout his career, Vybz Kartel's influence spans the globe, with international artists including Drake citing him as an influence, and collaborations with Rihanna, Busta Rhymes and others cementing his appeal. No stranger to brushes with the law, he was imprisoned in 2011, but still managed to release a steady stream of albums from behind bars - despite prisons guards claiming to have no knowledge of how, with the artist supposedly having no access to recording privileges - including 2016's King of the Dancehall which hit No. 2 on the Billboard reggae charts. Now that he's free, don't miss this monumental occasion.
