Reggae and dancehall icon Buju Banton played his first US show in 15 years on Saturday night at Long Island’s UBS Arena. Dubbed “The Long Walk to Freedom NY,” the concert was also a slightly early celebration of Banton’s 51st birthday, which is today. You can watch a few videos from the show below.
Banton has now announced a full US tour, dubbed “The Overcomer Tour,” that kicks off August 23 in Ft. Lauderdale and includes stops in Tampa, Boston, DC, Philly, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Chicago and more. There’s also a new NYC-area show at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on November 17. Fridayy will open all shows.
Tickets for all US shows go on sale Friday, July 19 at 10 AM local time. All dates are listed below.
