Following a hugely successful 2023 edition featuring dancehall star Masicka, the Streetz Festival is gearing up to once again electrify the National Stadium Car Park on Saturday, August 24. This year's event will be headlined by St. Thomas-born dancehall star Chronic Law.
Event director Chad Williams said having gained significant momentum on the performance trail over the last year, Chronic Law was the perfect main act for the 2024 staging of the event.
“Chronic Law was the right choice for this staging of Streetz. He is a heavyweight in dancehall right now and represents the Streetz in a big way,” he said. “Last year the headline act was Masicka. Also performing were the likes of Popcaan, Lila Ike, Jahshii and a number of other acts with a turnout of over 7,000 patrons. This year we intend to improve the quality of the staging and bring Jamaica’s authentic street festival back in a big way.”
According to Williams, come August 24, patrons can expect “a lot of energy, a unique performance from Chronic Law, and as is customary from Streetz, a lot of surprises.”
“We want to showcase Jamaican culture in a safe, authentic way. This year we are introducing our ‘Streetz Village’, a collection of food options, clothing and local craftsmen showcasing Jamaican products,” he said. “It will be an all-round event that is guaranteed to deliver the highest quality of entertainment.”
After recently receiving his US visa, Chronic Law made a highly successful debut at the Amazura Nightclub in New York, delivering a much-anticipated performance. The deejay has additional shows lined up, including a set at Red Cups Miami in October, as well as performances in Boston and Hartford, with more dates to be announced soon.
