The Minister of Culture, Gender, Entertainment and Sport, the Honourable Olivia Grange, says all is set for the American rapper, Kanye West, to perform in Jamaica.

“I can confirm that Kanye West will take his pop up Sunday Service series to Kingston this Heroes’ Weekend,” said Minister Grange.

Sunday Service is a series of gospel concerts that Kanye West has been hosting across the United States.

Kanye West’s Sunday Service performance in Jamaica will take place on Friday, 18 October 2019 at Emancipation Park in New Kingston beginning at 7pm.

Minister Grange noted that it is “the first time that Kanye West will be hosting Sunday Service outside of the United States and he couldn’t have chosen a better country than Jamaica.”

Minister Grange said: "The Ministry of Culture, Gender, Entertainment and Sport is pleased to facilitate Kanye West’s performance in the country as it supports the government’s programme to establish Jamaica as the preferred destination for music and sport events.”

The Ministry of Culture, Gender, Entertainment and Sport is working closely with the Jamaica Tourist Board; the Passport, Immigration and Citizenship Agency; the Kingston and St Andrew Municipal Corporation and other government entities to ensure the success of the event.

 

More than 100 performers are due to travel with Kanye West to Jamaica.
