About This Event
Two Legends. One Stage.
**A Historic One-Night Staging.
**In 2025, Hurricane Melissa caused major damage to Catherine Hall and surrounding infrastructure in Montego Bay.
While the region rebuilds, Reggae Sumfest evolves.
In 2026, we present "A Taste of Sumfest"... a one-night cultural staging that keeps the spirit of the festival alive while supporting the rebuilding of Western Jamaica.
The World Boss
Vybz Kartel
**"The undeniable World Boss. Vybz Kartel didn't just change dancehall; he rewrote its DNA. From lyrical warfare to dominating the global airwaves, the Portmore Empire remains an untouchable force. Step into the Gaza."

The Gully God
Mavado
"The Gully God. Forged in Cassava Piece, Mavado took the rawest street realities and turned them into global gospel. With unbreakable international ties and melodies that define a generation, the Gully movement stands tall."
