The St Kitts Music Festival Is Making a Comeback

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - December 17, 2021

One of the Caribbean’s most popular music festivals is coming back.

The St Kitts Music Festival, which had grown into one of the region’s most sought after music events before the pandemic, is returning in 2022.

This year’s event will be held June 24-25, according to Tourism Minister Lindsay Grant.

The event was scaled down to two days as a result of the pandemic.

“To survive, we must adapt and evolve as we learn to live with the virus,” Minister Grant said. “And so, over the next few months, we will fine-tune bold, innovative, efficient frameworks for hosting a safe, enjoyable and memorable event.”

Officials said the list of performers would be published early in 2022.

The festival, which will be holding its 24th edition next year, has hosted music legends from Steel Pulse to Sean Paul to Kassav, among others.
