Dancehall icon Vybz Kartel and Grammy Award-winning singer Jennifer Hudson are among the first artists announced for the 2025 St. Kitts Music Festival, scheduled for June 26-28.
The initial lineup features an international roster that includes Nigerian rising star Ayra Starr, Jamaican sensation Shenseea, and Trinidad’s Soca favourite Kes. Jamaican artist Dejour has also been confirmed for the summer event.
Local talent will be well represented with performances by Akaiusweet, Tobap, and the Kollision band, maintaining the festival’s tradition of showcasing international and homegrown artists.
This announcement comes as organisers promise an expanded festival experience for 2025. Early bird tickets are currently available through the festival’s online booking platform.
The St. Kitts Music Festival is one of the Caribbean’s premier music events, traditionally attracting thousands of visitors to the federation. It features various genres, including reggae, soca, R&B, and gospel over its three nights.
Further artist announcements are expected in the coming months as the festival continues to build its 2025 lineup.
