Multi-award-winning and Billboard Chart-topping International Recording Artiste Sean Paul on Tuesday announced his upcoming tour dates in New Zealand and Australia, as well as his highly-anticipated headlining performances at major US festivals, according to Jamaican-born entertainment publicist Ronnie Tomlinson.

The Brooklyn-based Ronnie Tomlinson, the chief executive office of Destine Media, told Caribbean Life that Sean Paul will make his way to New Zealand and Australia after his inaugural performance at Jamaica’s Rebel Salute.

“He is set to headline the Jammin Reggae Festival, which takes place over two days on Feb. 3 and 4t, 2024, in Sydney and the Gold Coast,” she said. “The festival, known for its electrifying showcases of international artists, will feature 23 renowned acts, including reggae and dancehall superstar Sean Paul.”

Following his Australian performances, Tomlinson said Sean Paul will be heading to the United States to join the lineup of the prestigious Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival in Tennessee on June 15, 2024.

“This marks a significant milestone for Sean Paul, as Bonnaroo has been requesting his performance for the past 15 years,” she said. “As one of the first major festivals in the United States, Bonnaroo attracts music enthusiasts from all over the world.

“The Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival, held on a 700-acre farm in Manchester, Tennessee, is a staple in the American music festival scene,” Tomlinson added. Known for its diverse lineup, the festival showcases various musical genres, from indie rock and reggae to hip hop and electronic dance.

Recognized by Rolling Stone Magazine as one of the “50 Moments that Changed Rock & Roll,” Tomlinson said Bonnaroo “consistently ranks as one of the top 10 best festivals by GQ Magazine.”
