The St Kitts Music Festival has added another big name to its lineup: hip-hop superstar 50 Cent.
50 Cent will join stars including Damian Marley, Tarrus Riley, R. City and Morgan Heritage, among others, for what has become one of the Caribbean’s leading music festivals.
The festival begins June 22 and lasts through June 25; 50 Cent’s show sill be on June 25, while Damian Marley will perform Friday.
“We have presented what we believe is a fantastic group of artists to mark the 20th Anniversary of the St. Kitts Music Festival,” said Ambassador Jonel Powell, who heads up the artist selection committee for the festival.
The festival includes a series of special events, from a Mojito Cuban Lounge on June 16 to an island-wide bar crawl on June 18.
