Just like his other reggae revival mates, Kabaka Pyramid also has a packed summer schedule which sees him performing on both sides of the Atlantic and spots in between. The singer known for Well Done, Never Gonna Be A Slave and Mi Alright with Chronixx is all set to promote his music in North America and in Europe for three months starting next month.
“It’s called The Contraband tour, taking its name from my upcoming album. We want to release this album at the end of October, so everything we do on this tour is about promoting this album. It’s club dates mixed with the major festivals for the summer. Normally we would do the festivals at this time of year, but we have decided to include clubs, especially in North America which does not have enough festivals, but we still want to spread the music,” Kabaka Pyramid told the Jamaica Observer.
The European leg commences at the New Morning festival in the French capital, Paris, on June 15. From there it is on to Bristol, London and Manchester in the United Kingston. On June 24 and 25, the Reggae Fever Festival in the Netherlands gets its taste of Kabaka Pyramid and his Bebble Rock Band. The Couleur Café Festival in Brussels, Belgium, is on June 30.
For the month of July, the artiste and his team will play festivals and other gigs in Portugal, Germany, Austria, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Spain, before he returns to Jamaica for the final night of Reggae Sumfest on July 22.
“This is our second time at Reggae Sumfest and it’s a joy to do this. We always have to bring our ‘A’ game. We will be testing some of the new material from the album, as well as giving the people the music they know and love.”
His Jamaican stop marks the end of his dates on the European continent and the start of shows in North America.
