It doesn’t matter if you’re 10 years old or 100 years old; it’s always a happy time.

 Dancehall Legends Tanto Metro & Devonte Set to Ignite Los Angeles
Los Angeles, CA – Reggae Superfest proudly presents an exclusive live performance featuring internationally acclaimed dancehall duo Tanto Metro & Devonte on Thursday, May 21st, 2026 at The Savoy in Inglewood.
Known for their global hits and electrifying stage presence, the duo will deliver an “Up Close & Personal” experience for fans in an intimate setting.
The event will also feature a very special guest artist (TBA), with music powered by Power Mixx and Excitement Sound.
Tanto Metro and Devonte, a major pioneering force of the dancehall movement, has been creating hits for over two decades now. In the late '90s, they were able to pave the way for many reggae artistes. They tapped into the international mainstream markets during a time when it was unheard of for a Jamaican artiste to reach the charts outside of their home country. Tanto and Devonte's instant chemistry and talent led them beyond Jamaica and into the U.S. Top 40 Billboard chart not once, but twice. Their first hit, "Everyone Falls in Love," swept up several major awards in 1998 including the Tamika and South Florida Reggae Soca Awards; and the ASCAP 2000 Rhythm and Souls Music Awards for being one of the top reggae artistes in 1999. The single hit the top 40 R&B and pop U.S. billboard charts and aired on radio throughout the globe. The subsequent album, bearing the same name was released by Sony Epic Records in 1999
Early bird tickets are now available, with VIP meet & greet packages offered in limited quantities.

SACRAMENTO, CA - ANTHONY B + IRIE ROCKERZ at Harlows - April 17, 2026

 Anthony B, The Original Fireman, is one of the most popular Jamaican artists, and the most prolific of his generation, the hits of this athlete are countless! With his 30-year career, he is one of those who constantly renew himself to produce reggae that is always effective and sought after around the world. His words are conscious, advocate freedom, equality and the need to fight for these values. With his Band "Bornfire", Anthony B delivers supercharged shows, with a communicative cheerfulness that makes the planet dance, an artist who cannot be ignored!
GET TICKETS HERE
ANTHONY B, born Keith ANTHONY Blair in 1976, Clarks Towns, Jamaica, began singing in church, like many other reggae legends. After having cut his teeth with Shaggy Hi-Power local sound system, and met other artists such as Determine, Mega Banton, Ricky General, Terror Fabulous or even Little Devon in Portmore, he left for Kingston in 1992. Arrived in the capital, he was quickly spotted by famed producer Richard 'Bell' Bello of Star Trail Records.
He released his first single in 1993 "The Living Is Hard", but it was in 1996 with the success of "Repentance Time" that his career really began. Then follow the hits "Rumor", "Raid di barn" and "Fire pon Rome" on his first album "Real Revolutionary" with these explosive lyrics which will make his notoriety, and which will remain engraved in the history of Jamaican music.
Since his beginnings marked by Otis Redding and Peter Tosh, who will become his claimed models, and his studies on the teaching of Marcus Garvey, ANTHONY B has been the messenger of political and social demands. The themes he discusses in his songs are rooted in the rasta culture, with a revolutionary touch in addition. Over time, sharpening his pen and injecting strong messages into each of his tracks, the artist has established himself as the voice of the poor, of oppressed peoples across the world.
Today, ANTHONY B has to his credit numerous albums that have become classics such as "Universal Struggle", "Street Knowledge" or "Freedom Fighter", hundreds of hits, covered and remixed by top-names production, and a countless sold-out concerts across the world. Proof that ANTHONY B has never left center stage, asserting himself today as a leading artist of dancehall and reggae.

If you wish (and we really wish you wouldn't) like to be removed from this list, please reply with REMOVE in subject line.
It will make us very sad if you do, and perhaps your removal will be the one the makes us decide this no longer worth doing at all, and all the information we provide will go away forever and musicians will sit home alone at night and cry because they have no one to play for because no one knows about their shows or music.
