The event took place at Emancipation Park, Kingston on February 22nd during Reggae Month.

The weekly concert series staged by the Jamaica Reggae Industry Association and the Jamaica Tourist Board continues to be a success as the weeks go by. The most recent, held on public holiday Ash Wednesday, was no different.

Due to the holiday festivities this event started in the afternoon and drew a much larger crowd to Emancipation Park. For most of the night Warrior Lord and Kurfew Bands provided backing for several of the artistes. Among those who ignited the stage that night were Johnny Clarke, upcoming singer Prophecy, Big Youth, Ken Boothe, Singing Melody and female artiste Alaine.

Each artiste who performed brought the audience to another level. The show was closed by the steadily rising young singer Cherine Anderson. At the end of the night patrons left Emancipation Park feeling well fed with a good dosage of quality reggae music.
