Beres Hammond announces 2025 US tour with special guests

Lovers rock and reggae legend Beres Hammond is bringing his soul-stirring vocals back to stages across the United States this summer with the launch of his Forever Giving Thanks Tour. Presented by Harmony House, the highly anticipated tour kicks off August 13 in Boston and will make stops in major cities including New York, New Jersey, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, and Florida.

The tour promises a celebration of Hammond’s timeless catalog—featuring beloved hits like “Rockaway,” “What One Dance Can Do,” and “Putting Up Resistance.” But Hammond isn’t going it alone. Select dates will feature powerhouse performances from fellow reggae great Marcia Griffiths, dancehall star Cham, Kes the Band, Tarrus Riley, and saxophonist Dean Fraser alongside The Blak Soil Band.

“This tour is about giving thanks—for the journey, the fans, and the power reggae has to unite,” Hammond said in a statement. “We’re bringing full vibes: sweet, conscious, and uplifting.”

Griffiths and Cham will appear in Newark on August 16 and Brooklyn on August 17, while the Georgia stop on August 24 is set to be one of the tour’s most dynamic nights, featuring Kes the Band, Tarrus Riley, Dean Fraser, and The Blak Soil Band.
