The legendary dancehall king himself, Yellowman, will be making a stop in Denver, CO, on October 19, 2021 as part of his month long “No More War Tour” across the United States. He is joined by none other than his own daughter, K’reema, and his long time live backing band, The Sagittarius Band.
This is the first time Yellowman has performed in Colorado in over a decade and it will be K’reema’s first Colorado. While he keeps a steady schedule of appearances at festivals and concerts across the globe, this U.S. tour seems to be pretty low key, with most of the venues being smaller local bars and clubs. The “underground” is the original dancehall vibe, though, and fans of Yellowman are thrilled to get to see him up close and personal in these intimate settings.

K'reema
