Trinidad and Tobago’s beloved Kes the Band has once again proven why they are one of the Caribbean’s most celebrated live acts. On Saturday night, the Roots, Rock, Soca Tour transformed New York City’s historic Forest Hills Stadium into a vibrant celebration of Caribbean music, culture, and unity as thousands of fans packed the venue for an unforgettable evening.
From the moment the band took the stage, the energy was undeniable. Fans from across the Caribbean diaspora sang every lyric, waved their flags with pride, and danced throughout the night, creating an atmosphere that felt more like Carnival than a traditional concert. Social media quickly filled with stunning images and videos showcasing a sold-out crowd united by the infectious rhythms of soca.
Following the performance, Kes the Band revealed the significance of the night, sharing that they had become the first soca act to perform at and sell out Forest Hills Stadium. The milestone represents another major breakthrough for soca music, highlighting its growing influence on the international stage and its ability to fill some of the world’s most iconic venues.
For years, Kes has earned a loyal global following by blending soca with reggae, pop, rock, and soulful Caribbean influences. That signature sound has allowed the band to transcend traditional genre boundaries while staying true to its island roots. Saturday’s historic performance served as another reminder that Caribbean music continues to reach new audiences without losing its authentic spirit.
The sold-out Queens concert will undoubtedly be remembered as one of the defining moments in Kes the Band’s remarkable journey. More importantly, it demonstrated that Caribbean music is no longer waiting for recognition—it is commanding the spotlight and bringing audiences around the world together through the power of live performance.
Fans in the Southeast won’t have to wait long to experience that same incredible energy. Kes the Band is scheduled to perform alongside reggae legend Beres Hammond on Saturday, August 16, 2026, at Gas South Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.
The highly anticipated concert promises an unforgettable night featuring two of the Caribbean’s most respected and beloved performers sharing one stage. Whether you’re a longtime fan of Beres Hammond’s timeless classics or the infectious energy of Kes the Band, this is shaping up to be one of the biggest Caribbean concerts of the summer.
