Rebel Salute Returns To Grizzlys Plantation Cove Jan. 2023

Jamaica’s beloved roots festival, Rebel Salute, which was conceptualized by veteran sing-jay Tony Rebel many years ago, will be back at Grizzly’s Plantation Cove in St. Ann, Jamaica on January 13 and 14, 2023.

Like many live events all over the world, Rebel Salute was impacted by the pandemic, which basically meant that the show could not go on, as it encouraged large gatherings. Instead, a scaled down digital version was attempted.

However, now that the pandemic is behind us, bookings are underway for the live in-person staging of Rebel Salute 2023.
