It's been three years too long but Beres Hammond will this year make a triumphant return to Reggae Sumfest where he will be honoured with a special award. Reggae Sumfest will take place over the weekend of July 17-23 in Montego Bay, Jamaica and will feature other top acts such as Jah Cure, Nikki Minaj, CeCile, Kip Rich, Protoje, Half Pint, Konshens and Tifa.
Beres is very eager to participate in this year's Reggae Sumfest. His Manager had this to say about Beres' participation in this year's Sumfest, Beres loves to perform at Sumfest because of the exceptional reception he gets, it's been a while since he has graced the stage at Catherine Hall and he has made it clear that he will be delivering one of the best sets locally come July.
Johnny Gourzong, Executive Director of Summerfest Productions, says "Beres is an icon and a cornerstone of the Jamaican music industry. We at Reggae Sumfest are very pleased to be presenting this great reggae artist and felt that he deserves to be recognized for his enormous contribution to the growth and development of our music. A reggae Sumfest without Beres never truly feels complete."
This year's Reggae Sumfest is sponsored by Red Stripe Bold, Jamaica Tourist Board, Digicel, Iberostar and Pepsi.
