Reggae super-group CHALICE has been tapped to perform at Reggae Sumfest 2011 which will take place from July 17-23 in Montego Bay, Jamaica. The veteran reggae group, which recently signed on to management through Henry Buckley, Jr’s, The Skinny Bwoy Agency, LLC., will close International Night 2 on Saturday, July 23.
CHALICE, widely known for its’ high energy performances and hits which include “Good To Be There”, “I Still Love You”, “Stew Peas” and “Revival Time” are very excited about their return to the Sumfest stage. “Being veterans of both Sunsplash and Sumfest we welcome the return to the big stage,” says Wayne Armond in a statement. “Closing the festival has always been reserved for greats like Dennis Brown and Black Uhuru, so we have some big shoes to fill. We are really looking forward to greeting the people with love.”
The band is currently in the studio working on its’ follow-up album to last year’s “Let It Play” which charted well on the NY Top 20 Reggae Albums Chart. The new album is aimed at re-introducing CHALICE to its’ legions of hard-core fans as well as introducing the band to a whole new generation of reggae music lovers. It is scheduled for release in the fall of 2011.
Reggae Sumfest – “The Greatest Reggae Show On Earth” now in its’ 19th year will feature Hip-Hop’s Nicki Minaj, R. Kelly, Beres Hammond, Vybz Kartel, Jah Cure among many other top acts.
