With only three weeks until the ultimate summer festival, Dream Wknd has added another massive act to its roster. Fast-rising dancehall artist Armanii is set to perform at the 15th staging of the highly anticipated event, promising a show-stopping performance for the ladies.

With his soulful, melodic voice, Armanii has captured the attention of young adults by sharing his music on TikTok. His tracks, including "How You Feel," "Facetime," "Toxic," and "Dunce Barbie," have earned him a solid fan base, especially among Jamaican women. Recently, he added to his success with the summer anthem "Fiesta," which has quickly become one of dancehall's standout singles of 2024.

To build momentum for Dream’s anniversary celebration, Pier One hosted the latest Dream Wknd 2024 launch party as part of the promotional activities for the 15th staging set for Negril in August. The Dream Wknd team energized the Pier Pressure event, a staple in the city’s weekly entertainment, by partying with patrons and giving away tickets. The energy remained high as locals and visitors partied until the early morning hours.

"The mood is one of excitement! From our interactions with patrons and promoters they’re gearing up again for another epic staging and of course, this is special for us as it’s the 15th anniversary. A stop in Montego Bay is also important as we have always gotten love from partygoers in Montego Bay and Pier Pressure is an ideal check in as the vibe is amazing,” Dream Entertainment Head of Operations Macheri Samuels said.

DJ Theron and DJ Quann electrified the crowd with tracks from Vybz Kartel, Popcaan, Masicka, and Aidonia, along with Afrobeat and Soca mixes. Pier One's General Manager, Jason Russell, praised the collaboration, and explained, "The Dream Wknd team being in the space also brings an added level of excitement as patrons know the brand and the excitement surrounding it. As usual our DJs delivered to a full house and it was an awesome collaborative showing between our brands."

Dream Wknd is set for Friday, August 2 – Tuesday, August 6, 2024, in Negril and will feature 8 events including live performances from top entertainers including Tommy Lee Sparta, Aidonia, Teejay, Jada Kingdom, Mr Vegas as well as the ‘Fiesta’ boss, Armanii.
