Early planning for Streetz Festival
COMING off an electrifying performance from Chronic Law and specially invited guests at the National Stadium last August, this year’s staging of Streetz Festival will close out summer 2025 in fine style.
Returning to Kingston for the third time since its debut, the highly anticipated affair is slated to take place at the National Stadium on Saturday, August 30, 2025. Gates are set to open at 6:00 pm and the show concludes at 2:00 am sharp.
“We are committed to bringing to Kingston international-calibre acts that have not performed locally in a while. Streetz headliners are given the creative freedom to develop their full sets, with their collaborators and their full band. We want to showcase the best of Jamaican culture — that is what makes our festival unique,” event organiser Chad Williams expressed.
While the organisers are keeping the headlining act under wraps for now, based on the quality of production over the past years, patrons expect a spectacular festival.
“At this point we are still very tight-lipped about our headliner this year but, as is customary with Streetz Festival, there will be a number of supporting acts and surprises,” Williams shared.
With great expectations for this year’s event, the organisers are promising a spectacle like no other and that it will raise the level of production along with safe, authentic entertainment.
In its fifth staging, the Streetz Festival was previously held in St Ann, while the festival made its Kingston debut in 2023 with a star-studded line-up headlined by Masicka. The Streetz Festival stage has been graced with full-set performances by Ding Dong and Chronic Law, to name a few, as well as surprise performances by Tarrus Riley, Jahshii, Lila Ike, Najeeriii, Skippa, and many more.
Joining him in applauding the festival’s success, Richard Roache of SMA Talent, official talent scout for the festival, said: “We are proud of what is becoming a staple in the Kingston music, food, and cultural scene. The atmosphere at Streetz Festival is really something to admire.”
A host of top-end sponsors are expected to come on board, with plans being put in place to ensure patrons get the right feel of dancehall culture in its birthplace and capital, Kingston.
