Red Bull Culture Clash returns to Jamaica November 2

Following a five-year hiatus, the Red Bull Culture Clash makes its triumphant return to Jamaica on November 2 at the National Arena in Kingston. Four teams, each assembled by some of the region’s best artistes, emcees, disc jocks, and producers, face off in a thrilling battle to win over the crowd.

Red Bull Culture Clash is renowned for its unique format, where the crowd’s reaction is measured through a decibel reader, with the highest average during the first five seconds determining the winner. This year, attendees can look forward to an unforgettable night filled with an eclectic mix of music genres, from dancehall, reggae and soca to hip hop and R&B, along with surprise special guests, one-of-a-kind dubplates, and exclusive one-night-only performances.

Inspired by the original Jamaican sound-system culture, Red Bull Culture Clash has a storied history of exhilarating editions around the globe. Notably, the UK edition in 2016 featured celebrities like Wiz Khalifa and Popcaan and Unruly, who won the event in London that year. The recent 2024 New York edition saw Team ‘No Long Talk’, representing the West Indian Day Parade, win the crowd over with special guests Wyclef Jean and YG Marley.

The inaugural staging of Red Bull Culture Clash in Jamaica featured a star-studded line-up with more than 65 artistes, DJs, emcees, and producers coming together for one amazing night. This included the likes of Jada Kingdom, Ding Dong, King Bubba, Barrie Hype, Shenseea, Stylo G, Tony Matterhorn, Munga, Beenie Man, Teejay, Aidonia, and Govana to name a few, who were part of the four competing teams. In 2019, Team ‘Do It For The Culture’ came out on top as the winners, led by American record producer Salaam Remi, along with veterans Spragga Benz, Bambino, Jah Snow Cone, Jack Scorpio and Disco Neil.

This year promises to live up to the expectation with an all-star crew list of popular DJs, artistes, and special guests. Fans are encouraged to stay tuned and follow @RedBullJamaica on social media for the latest updates and announcements, with information on ticket purchasing being made available very soon.

Inspired by Jamaican sound-system culture, Red Bull Culture Clash features head-to-head performances from four crews. The crews are given the reins to take over their own stage in each corner of the venue and face off in a four-round battle, bringing heavy tunes, unreleased tracks, fierce competition, and an exciting roster of special guests and surprises.
