Following the release of his debut EP, "Rich N Richer," Pablo YG, the burgeoning dancehall sensation, has been announced for the Sumfest lineup, for the second consecutive year.


Released on March 22 via VPAL Music of VP Records, the EP showcases collaborations with Kranium and Valiant, alongside the titular track, "Rich N Richer." This single, which hit the airwaves last summer, catapulted Pablo YG's career to new heights.



His inclusion in Sumfest for another year serves as further evidence of his expanding fan base and solidified presence on the Caribbean's grandest stage.


Joining the roster for the first time is another rising talent, Jquan, who has been making waves in the dancehall scene. With breakout singles like "Choppa Gospel" and the chart-topping hit "Chakka," 2023 proved to be a pivotal year for the Manchester-native artist. Now, Jquan is set to make his debut performance at the event, further solidifying his place among the rising stars of dancehall.


Both artists join an impressive lineup that already includes dancehall stars such as Aidonia, Teejay, Valiant, Jada Kingdom, 450, Malie Donn, Kraff, and many others who have been announced for night one, scheduled for July 19th.
