Five of Jamaica’s top dancehall talents are set to take the international stage in a united show of strength and solidarity. Chronic Law, I-Octane, Aidonia, Teejay, and Demarco have officially been announced as featured performers at the Jamaica Strong Benefit Concert, scheduled for Friday, December 12, 2025, at the UBS Arena in Queens, New York.
The landmark event will support ongoing rebuilding efforts across the island following the widespread destruction caused by Hurricane Melissa. All net proceeds from ticket sales will go directly toward relief initiatives benefiting affected communities and families.
This powerful lineup sends a clear message: Jamaica’s talent remains committed to its people — whether at home or abroad.
Each performer brings a distinct chapter of the Jamaican story:
Their collective presence reinforces the strength and influence of Jamaica’s musical landscape, especially at a time when unity and national pride are needed most.
Thousands of Jamaicans living in New York and the tri-state area are expected to attend the benefit concert, transforming UBS Arena into a massive celebration of culture and resilience.
Organisers say the involvement of home-grown talent makes the moment more meaningful.
“This concert shows that no matter where Jamaicans go, we will always support the land we come from,” said one member of the Jamaica Strong organising team.
Beyond entertainment, the event underscores a urgent mission: to help restore communities, rebuild damaged infrastructures, and support families still recovering months after Hurricane Melissa’s devastation.
Artists have expressed their gratitude to be part of a cause greater than themselves and greater than the stage.
Industry leaders say the concert is poised to become one of the most culturally significant Caribbean showcases ever held in the United States, demonstrating the global respect and reach of Jamaican music.
