The event, with the theme ‘Generations of Dancehall’, will be held at the Queen’s Park Savannah. Alkaline and Rygin King will bring their respective catalogues to the stage, as well as up-and-coming artistes Kraff and Rajah Wild, who will deliver exceptional entertainment for younger attendees.
“Last year’s cast was a younger generation of dancehall acts, which in turn attracted a younger audience. So this year, we wanted to have a better balance all around, so we came up with the concept of ‘generations’, with the aim of having different acts to represent and appeal to different generations of dancehall music fans, said Lyndon Gomez of Purple Robe Entertainment. “Kraff and Rajah Wild are two of the youngest sensations out now and they will appeal to the youngest fans, while Rygin King and Alkaline will attract the fans from the mid-2000s come forward. Bounty Killer is a veteran and a legend with a strong following from the ’90s dancehall era, so we wanted to have a better balance across the different demographics of the dancehall community for the Magnum Xplosion SummerStage concert.”
In addition to the stage show, the Magnum team will be conducting a series of activations across the twin-island republic. These activations will commence on July 19 and will run weekly, with the final activation on August 9 in Port of Spain.
Marketing Manager for Magnum Tonic Wine Pavel Smith said the event has become a staple dancehall appreciation event in Trinidad and Tobago.
“Magnum is delighted to continue its contribution to dancehall events in Trinidad, recognising the significance of cultural exchange between our islands. Each year, fans wait with bated breath in anticipation of this event, eager to experience their favourite dancehall artistes live on stage. This year’s line-up promises exceptional performances, and we invite everyone to join us and revel in the festivities.”
