Dancehall heavyweight Aidonia is celebrating 20 years as a recording artist, having emerged in 2005 as one of the most powerful voices in Jamaican music. To mark the milestone, the 4th Genna boss kicked off his anniversary celebrations with a sold-out concert at the 20,000-capacity UBS Arena in New York, performing alongside Sizzla, Mavado, Shenseea, Jada Kingdom, and others.
The celebration now heads to Kingston for a monumental homecoming show on Saturday, May 10, at Sabina Park, presented by 4th Genna Music and powered by Courvoisier.
Backed by renowned event producer Romeich Entertainment, the Kingston concert is set to be a landmark night in dancehall history. The lineup includes legendary and contemporary acts: Bounty Killer, Capleton, Ding Dong, Skeng, Valiant, Di Genius, Rajah Wild, and Kraff—creating a one-night-only experience that bridges dancehall generations.
