An impressive lineup of some of dancehall’s shining stars has been confirmed for the European leg of Vybz Kartel’s Freedom Street. The September event continues to solidify its promise of a sensational weekend for fans in Malta.
Running from the 11th to the 14th, the four-day celebration of Caribbean rhythms will feature a dazzling showcase of talent that includes Shenseea, Spice, Jada Kingdom, Dexta Daps, Chronic Law, Tommy Lee Sparta, and Skeng. Fans in Europe are already buzzing with anticipation. Vybz Kartel will take centre stage as the headliner, marking his triumphant return.
The event’s star-studded lineup was revealed hot on the heels of its European debut. Weeks ago, Vybz Kartel’s ‘Homecoming’ tour was unveiled. According to a report, the lineup will include more global heavyweights in dancehall.
The festival’s organisers revealed the roster on Thursday, igniting excitement among fans. There is a lot of anticipation building for the live showcase of this high-octane genre. Tickets sold out rapidly following the announcement, underscoring the event’s immense popularity. It also solidifies the magnetic pull of Vybz Kartel, who continues to influence dancehall culture globally.
Kartel is often hailed as a pioneer of the dancehall genre. He is renowned for his groundbreaking music and ability to draw massive crowds. Another large audience that he is gearing up to captivate will be at the Wireless Festival in the UK. This event comes ahead of Freedom Street. He will share the stage with international superstar Drake.
The upcoming festival is widely anticipated, which is evident in ticket sales. According to reports, within days of it being unveiled that Vybz Kartel would be performing at this year’s staging, the tickets rapidly sold out. Fans are looking forward to a high-energy show from the two international superstars. This high anticipation for both events is a testament to dancehall’s push to the forefront of the international stage.
