The highly-anticipated Intimate Jamaica Concert series under the stars is set to return for its second installment, promising an unforgettable experience for reggae music enthusiasts.

Headlining this extraordinary event are two of Jamaica’s most iconic artists, Beres Hammond and Buju Banton, who will grace the stage together in a much-anticipated live performance at the picturesque Plantation Cove in Priory, St. Ann, Jamaica.

“Building on the success of the first edition, the upcoming Intimate Jamaica Concert will feature a few exciting changes to enhance the overall experience for attendees,” Ronnie Tomlinson, the Brooklyn-based, Jamaican-born entertainment publicist, told Caribbean Life on Tuesday.

“While the full lineup of artists is yet to be announced, fans can expect a carefully curated selection of some of the finest talents from Jamaica and beyond to grace the stage in the spirit of Intimate,” added the chief executive officer of the New York-based Destine Media. “The event promises to showcase the artistry of the island’s most profound talents, delivering a unique blend of music that is sure to captivate audiences.”

Hammond said: “Our Intimate family enjoyed the first staging in 2023, so we are back to do it again. Come out and bring your dancing shoes.

Tomlinson said: “Intimate is proudly presented by two esteemed event producers, FYVE Events & Talent Limited and A-Team Management.”

She said FYVE Events & Talent Limited, led by managing director Marlon Burke, boasts over 20 years of experience in the entertainment industry and has deep roots in Jamaican entertainment.
