Kartel for BVI show
CODA Network to offer exclusive pay-per-view livestream
Dancehall icon Vybz Kartel is set to take the stage in Tortola, British Virgin Islands (BVI), in what is his first official international assignment following his 13-year incarceration.
CODA Network (CODA) has secured the exclusive streaming rights for the highly anticipated concert outside of Jamaica.
The event will take place on Saturday, March 15, 2025 in Wickhams Cay and will be available only on CODA Pay-Per-View (PPV) platform.
The show is presented by entrepreneur Steve Parillon of YOLO Promotions as part of his second annual Black on Black (B.o.B) concert series.
The line-up will also feature top Jamaican artists Skillibeng, Jah Vinci, and other regional rising dancehall and reggae talent like Monea, Banco, Revelation, and more.
As the first event of its kind to bring international attention to the BVI, it highlights the region’s growing presence on the global entertainment stage and strengthens its appeal as a hub for cultural tourism.
“CODA is committed to bridging the gap between Hollywood and the Caribbean by providing local creatives with meaningful work opportunities. We have the talent, the creativity, and the vision within the region. If we lack a particular skill set or expertise, the answer isn’t outsourcing; it’s collaboration… Our goal is to ensure that regional talent plays a key role in large-scale productions, while helping to elevate and strengthen the Caribbean’s film and media industry,” said CEO and founder of CODA Lexi Chow.
CODA aims to bring this event to global audiences, further expanding the reach of Caribbean music and culture while showcasing the BVI.
“We are immensely proud and excited to be hosting an event of this magnitude and the opportunity to reach such a global audience via Coda Network. Undoubtedly, this livestream positions the BVI for exposure that we believe can lead to a tourism boost…” said Natalio D Wheatley, premier and minister of finance of the Virgin Islands.
Tickets for the live event went in sale yesterday, Friday, February 28 exclusively at www.codatv.com or by downloading the free CODA Network mobile app for in-app purchases.
Fans can watch the concert live on multiple platforms, including iOS, Android devices, streaming devices like Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Firestick, and Android TV. Viewers should note that there may be regional viewing restrictions.
