Tony Rebel annual festival was launched on 3rd January.

If the launch of Rebel Salute 2012 is anything to go by then the 19th staging of one of the most conscious reggae shows on the musical calendar will be a stellar event.

Held at the Wyndham Kingston, the prelude was like a meeting concert in itself as several artistes turned out to show their support for Tony Rebel and his Flames Production Company.

The show is scheduled to take place on Saturday, January 14th at the Port Kaiser Sports Complex, St. Elizabeth.

As this is the 50th anniversary of Jamaica's Independence the promoters plan to pull out all the stops to make this staging a memorable one.

Artistes who are scheduled to perform some of whom will be gracing the stage for the first time or the first in a long while are Mikey Spice, Johnny Osbourne, Max Romeo, Yami Bolo, Eric Donaldson and C-Sharp Band.

Other big acts expected include Tarrus Riley, Johnny Clarke, Queen Ifrica, Capleton, Stephen Marley, Luciano, Maxi Priest and Edi Fitzroy to name a few.

If you are ever in Jamaica, this event is a must.
