Scheduled for April 19, 2025, in Kingston, the festival will feature a stellar lineup of artists, with Jesse Royal & Friends headlining the event.
The first confirmed artist is reggae legend Big Youth, with more acts set to be announced in the coming weeks. High Life Festival aims to unite some of the most influential voices in reggae, blending the genre’s rich cultural heritage with contemporary energy.
“High Life Festival is more than just a concert; it’s a call to community, a celebration of our roots, and a reminder of the power we hold when we come together,” said Jesse Royal.
“From performing on global stages to building something right here at home, this festival is a reflection of everything I’ve learned and everything I love about our culture. We’re bringing the vibes, the music, and the unity back to where it all started… Jamaica. Big Youth is just the first of many incredible artistes we have in store, so stay tuned, get your tickets, and come be part of this movement!”
