Shaggy, Inner Circle, and T.O.K to Headline “Jamaica Strong” Benefit Concert in New York 2025
In the wake of the devastating impact of Hurricane Melissa across Jamaica, the Government of Jamaica (GOJ), through the Ministry of Culture, Gender, Entertainment and Sport (MCGES), has endorsed a major humanitarian initiative — the “I Love Jamaica” Concert Series — aimed at raising critical funds to support national recovery and rebuilding efforts.
The flagship event of the series, the “Jamaica Strong Benefit Concert,” will take place on Friday, December 12, 2025, at the world-famous UBS Arena in New York. Organized by Jamaica Strong NY Inc., in collaboration with Jammins Entertainment, The Irie Jam Foundation, RoadBlock Radio, and other key partners, the concert will bring together some of the biggest names in Caribbean music.
Headlining the star-studded lineup is international Grammy Award-winning artist Shaggy, joined by KES the Band, Inner Circle, T.O.K, Teejay, Tessanne Chin, Richie Stephens, and Mikey Spice, with more top-tier artists to be announced.
This historic event is more than just a concert — it’s a global show of solidarity, celebrating Jamaica’s resilience and the deep bond between the island and its worldwide diaspora.
“Jamaica’s culture has always been a source of strength, pride, and global influence,” said The Hon. Olivia ‘Babsy’ Grange, Minister of Culture, Gender, Entertainment and Sport. “In times of crisis, it becomes a unifying force. The ‘I Love Jamaica’ concert reminds us that even from afar, our people and friends around the world can come together to rebuild lives and restore hope.”
With UBS Arena serving as a major sponsor, the Jamaica Strong Benefit Concert is set to attract thousands of fans, dignitaries, and supporters eager to stand with Jamaica during this crucial time. The event underscores the power of music, culture, and unity in bringing healing and hope to a nation in need.
