“I’m doing Summerjam in Germany. I’m working the same night as Protoje and Buju, so I’m looking forward to that. I’m going to Hawaii for the first time with Damian Marley and Third World where we will have two shows. Then there’s Reggae on the River over in California. It’s definitely getting easier. A lot of the festivals that we listed from before we check them off already, and we have done them and now going back for a second or third time. We’re doing more new festivals now, even festivals outside the reggae genre which is something we want to do to open new doors for the music. But it’s definitely easier now , but there is always more… it’s a wide world so there’s always more work to do. I did a summer where I was in Europe for two and a half months, but the fact that I’m going from the US to Europe and back and forth and I’m going to places like Japan in September and October. So I’m doing Japan and Hawaii for the first time. This is definitely the most diverse tour and the longest, as I don’t think I will see Jamaica again until October,†he shared.
