Norris Man Added To The 2024 Aarhus Reggae Festival 

One of the most persistent artists in the reggae-dancehall industry, Norris Man, has been added to the Aarhus Reggae Festival lineup. 

Norris Man grew up in the Trench Town and Arnett Gardens communities in Kingston, Jamaica. His career as a recording artist officially began in the mid-90s, and despite the fact that he migrated to Sweden approximately ten years ago, he has maintained his relevance within the genre on both the local and international scene. 

He has been consistently touring all over the world for the past twenty-five years, and has been steadfast in his commitment to recording and releasing new music on an ongoing basis. In fact, in May 2022, he shared the album Deep Conversations, and most recently, in November 2023, he dropped another LP called Life

Norris Man will headline the Aarhus Reggae Festival alongside Exco Levi, and both men will be supported by several local performers and selectors. The event is scheduled for Saturday, September 28, and it will be staged at Volume Village (Thomas Koppels Gade 201) in Aarhus, Denmark.
