News Americas, New York, NY, 3 October 2024: Grammy-winning Jamaican-born reggae star Buju Banton, fresh off his US comeback, will make his long-awaited return to Canada on October 13.
Banton recently received his Canadian visa, a milestone that allows him to bring his tour to Scotiabank Arena. In a recent interview with the Jamaica Observer, Until I rest the singer was excited about returning to Canada.
“This means I have a chance to introduce the culture and Buju Banton to Canadians once again. Performing for the masses is always a joy, but Canada is a special place for us Maroons,” Banton said.
The iconic artist, also known as “The Gargamel,” will perform at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto — his first Canadian performance in more than 15 years.
The Toronto concert is part of Banton’s North American arena tour and follows his successful US shows, including two sold-out shows in New York. This tour marks his return to the American stage after a 13-year hiatus.
Currently back in Jamaica, Banton is preparing for his highly anticipated Intimate Concert on January 4, 2025, at Plantation Cove in St. Ann. Despite the recent schedule adjustments, Banton’s Overcomer Tour will continue with stops in Boston, Philadelphia, Connecticut, Houston, Dallas, Phoenix, Los Angeles and Chicago in 2025.
Fans can look forward to an unforgettable performance as Banton showcases his legendary reggae talent and rich Jamaican heritage to a Canadian audience once again.
