450 books on big international stages


Dancehall artiste 450 continues his steady rise on the international circuit, with a growing slate of overseas bookings underscoring his expanding global reach.


As 2026 gets underway, the singer is already locked in for several major performances throughout the year, signalling sustained demand beyond the Caribbean.


He is set to make his debut at Sunsplash Festival on July 5 at Zuiderpark, placing him on one of Europe’s most respected reggae and dancehall stages during the height of the summer festival season. The show follows his recent debut at Best of the Best Music Fest in Miami over Memorial Day Weekend.



450 shared enthusiastically, “Honestly, growing up in Jamaica, you dream about moments like these, but to actually see dancehall being celebrated on major international stages and to be part of that conversation is a blessing. Best Of The Best and Sunsplash are iconic platforms, so being included is a good feeling but even bigger than me - it’s a win for dancehall and for the new generation carrying it”.


The artiste, who now boasts two songs surpassing 50 million views on YouTube, including “Journey” with 52 million views and “Wild N Rich” with over 56 million views to date, has remained productive this year with releases such as “Backflick” and his recent single “Self Worth,” produced by CJtheChemist.


The track is dominating across platforms, currently holding the No. 4 spot on Apple Music’s Top 25 in Jamaica while trending in 14 countries across the region, including the British Virgin Islands and Antigua and Barbuda. Its momentum extends beyond streaming, as the song has surged to No. 1 on TikTok’s trending chart in Jamaica, cementing its status as one of the island’s most impactful releases right now.



“Fans can expect consistency, growth, and as usual, real music. I’m focused on elevation, not just momentum, so expect more releases, more visuals and international performances,” he concluded.
