Punch Fest 2016 is a first time event on the Jamaican Easter calendar. It’s a reggae extravaganza which will feature an icon but will also be a live performance platform for a kaleidoscope of reggae’s rising stars. Punch Fest takes place on Saturday March 26 at the V Club in Independence City

This year’s featured icon is reggae’s hit machine Sizzla Kalonji who is currently holding down the number #3 slot on Billboard Magazine’s Top Reggae Albums chart with his critically acclaimed album 876. Sizzla brings to the table an impressive catalogue of hit singles and albums, and his output of nearly six dozen albums is considered prodigious by even the most seasoned industry insiders and producers. At Punch Fest, Sizzla will perform many of his classic hit songs alongside newer cuts from the 876 album.
