Buju Banton, the reggae and dancehall legend, recently made a triumphant return to the U.S. stage after a 13-year hiatus. His sold-out shows in New York marked the beginning of a massive comeback for the Grammy-winning superstar. Following the success of these performances, Banton has announced ‘The Overcomer Tour,’ a 14-date U.S. arena trek that will showcase his iconic music to fans across the country.
The tour, produced by AG Touring in association with Gargamel Music and XO Management, will feature special guest Fridayy, a three-time Grammy-nominated R&B singer-songwriter. The tour will kick off on Aug. 24 at Amerant Bank Arena in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and will make stops in major cities such as Houston, Atlanta, and Boston before concluding on Nov. 17 at Barclay Center in Brooklyn, NY.
In a recent interview with Billboard, Banton expressed his excitement about reconnecting with his U.S. fanbase and bringing his music to a diverse audience. He emphasized the unique energy and passion that fans in different states bring to his performances, and he is eager to reignite that passion and euphoria after his long absence from the States.
Banton’s return to the U.S. stage comes after a significant hiatus, with his last performance in the country taking place in 2011, the same day he won the Grammy for Best Reggae Album. His upcoming tour is a highly anticipated event for fans who have been eagerly awaiting his return.
