Sandz Toronto, held this weekend in Uxbridge, Ontario, was a huge success, drawing large crowds to the ‘People’s Festival’. The event kicked off shortly after 2 PM, with music provided by Ricky Platinum, Creep Chromatic, Chippy Don, and DJ Flare.
Dancehall artist Skeng electrified the stage with his hit single 'London,' turning the crowd into his choir. He performed several popular tracks, including 'Eediattt,' 'Talibhan,' and 'Likkle Miss Remix,' culminating in a dive into the front-row crowd. Skeng then welcomed Kraff, who thrilled the audience with his hits 'Rum Behavior' and '100 Watt.' The duo kept the audience in a frenzy with back-to-back hits.

Kraff introduced international recording artist Pressa, dKnown for his collaborations with Tory Lanez on ‘Canada Goose’ and Coi Leray on ‘Attachment’. The crowd's energy was palpable, reflecting their satisfaction with the overall entertainment experience.
Sandz Toronto joins Florida and New York as a successful staging, cementing the promoter's dedication to patron safety and enjoyment. Additionally, Sandz Vacation: Thailand was announced, capitalizing on the recent news that Jamaicans no longer need a visa to travel to Thailand. This unique offering will feature an 8-day, 7-night adventure filled with parties and cultural experiences.

Andrew Ellis, CEO of Twenty 14 Limited (curators of Sandz Caribbean Music Festival), expressed his satisfaction, "I am incredibly pleased with the success of our events. All our events have seen tremendous growth and it’s clear that our innovative approach is resonating with our audience. We are committed to keeping the best interests of our patrons at the forefront, ensuring each experience is better than the last".
The festival returns to Jamaica to celebrate Sandz X (10-year anniversary), on Emancipation Day, August 1, at Shazz Grounds, St. Ann. The year will conclude with a grand event on October 20 in St. Elizabeth, Jamaica, a new market added due to popular demand. Ellis shared, “St. Ann is like a second home to us, but St. Elizabeth is a new market that we are excited to venture in. We see the struggles they have been facing because of Hurricane Beryl and are eager to lend a helping hand through care packages to be distributed by our team in the coming week”. He added “For both stagings we are coming home to the authentic Sandz where we not so focused on the performances but focus on people taking their crew, cooler, and vibes to the event”.
