On Saturday, December 17, the highly anticipated Ice On Fire Festival will take place at Turtle River Park in Ocho Rios, St. Ann (Jamaica). This is being billed as the Caribbean’s ultimate food inclusive music affair.
By all accounts, the Ice On Fire Fest is seen as a secular event with dancehall artist Jah Vinci booked as the headlining act. However, the organizers have also added gospel performer Jai Kingston to the lineup. Kingston, who has been ordained as a Music Minister and Director in the Emmanuel Gospel Hall Church, is also known for his involvement in several outreach programs and charities.
The Ice On Fire Festival will begin at 1pm and is expected to go on until 2am the following day. Early bird tickets are now going for $4,000 JMD ($30 USD).

It is with great sadness and a heavy heart from the news that The Wailers’ own keyboard player, brother and friend Tyrone Downie passed away today. Tyrone joined The Wailers just before the age of 20, making his recording début with the band on Rastaman Vibration. When you hear the keys on Three Little Birds (and many others hits), you should always think of Tyrone. The Wailers and friends would like to offer our heartfelt condolences to Tyrone’s family. Rest in Power Tyrone.
