Grammy-nominated reggae singer Jesse Royal is currently in Brazil for a five-show tour before returning home to Jamaica, where he’ll host the inaugural High Life Festival in Kingston.


Set for April 19, 2025, the brand-new music experience is curated to celebrate live music, culture, and community. Headlined by Jesse Royal & Friends, the festival will feature an exciting lineup of his peers and collaborators — including legendary reggae icon Big Youth, who has already been confirmed.


“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,” shared 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.”



He added, “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!”


With a packed schedule this year—including performances across the U.S., like Green Mountain Reggae Festival in September, and a series of European dates—Jesse Royal is promising more than just a concert.
