Not sure exactly what happened between the Reggae Sumfest organization and
reggae artist Tarrus Riley, however the rift has resulted in Tarrus Riley’s management team announcing to fans that Riley will not be part of this year’s staging of Reggae Sumfest:
“We regrettably announce that Tarrus Riley will not be at Reggae Sumfest 2019, due to failure of the festival honoring their obligations as agreed upon by both parties. We want to make clear that this has NOTHING to do with money, but everything to do with honoring and upholding an agreement, which plays a vital role in elevating Jamaican music and a brand after so many years of hard work.This decision is one that we feel is necessary and is in honor of our fans who have supported Singy Singy aka Tarrus Riley over the years. As we all know Tarrus gives a 1000%, all we ask is for binding parties to reciprocate and keep their end of the deal. This is still our music, our culture and will continue to be our festival. Keep the fire burning and continue to be strong and never stop believing in yourself.”-Management
Hopefully, there will be additional information forthcoming. Story developing…
