Reggae superstar Tarrus Riley has signed on to perform at the St Kitts Music Festival, organizers announced this week.

Riley will be joined by a slate of new additions to the festival, including Capleton and Freddie McGregor, who will join already-signed-on acts Beenie Man and Chronixx.

“Hosting such a diverse set of internationally acclaimed reggae superstars at the same Festival embodies what this event is all about – the mix of musical genres, age ranges, and the unifying power of music that our Festival has grown to represent,” said Faron Lawrence, chairman of the executive committee of the St Kitts Music Festival.

The festival’s lineup already includes noted performers like Tessanne Chin, who won the most recent season of NBC’s The Voice.

The St Kitts Music Festival is now in its 18th year.
