Dancehall superstar Vybz Kartel is gearing up for another major chapter in his illustrious career as he brings his iconic Freedom Street concert to Europe. The Jamaican deejay made the thrilling announcement following his electrifying performance in Tortola, British Virgin Islands. In a social media post on Wednesday, Kartel revealed that there will be a European edition of Freedom Street in September.
The concert was a tremendous success in Jamaica, causing a surge in holiday tourism. The European counterpart, running from September 11 to 14, promises to transform Malta into a haven for dancehall enthusiasts for four unforgettable days.
According to organisers, the European leg will feature two headline performances from Kartel with distinct setlists. The four-day extravaganza includes various exciting events including open-air concerts, club takeovers, boat parties, and late-night afterparties.
The concert captures the immersive celebration of dancehall culture and Kartel’s unique style. It also marks the global influence the genre has. International fans who missed the Jamaican leg of the iconic event will get to witness the phenomenon live. Fans are already eagerly anticipating the pre-sale ticket launch on March 21.
Vybz Kartel continues to reaffirm his position as a globally iconic figure by making a triumphant return to the international stage. Recent successes, such as Kartel’s upcoming shows at the Barclays Centre, which sold out within hours, underscore his international impact and the dancehall’s popularity.
According to Prism Marketing Consultants, the CEO of Reggae Fest, CJ Milan, spoke highly of Vybz Kartel, saying, “To be at the Barclays Centre with the biggest dancehall artist in the world is epic!”
While he was incarcerated, the deejay remained consistent with his music releases. Since his release, his accolades, including a Grammy nomination and Impact Award at the MOBO Awards, have solidified his status as an influential force in music. His expansion into Europe marks a new era for his career and the rising international appeal of dancehall.
