Irie Jam Radio and Chronixx have announced that the show will take place at the Brooklyn Armory, within the Major R. Owens Health & Wellness Community Center. Ticket information available through Chronixx’s official link gives the location as Brooklyn, NY 11225, with prices starting at US$158.55.
The date falls on the eve of the US Thanksgiving holiday, placing the show at the start of a major gathering period for families across New York’s Caribbean communities.
Why Brooklyn matters
Brooklyn remains a vital home for Jamaican and wider Caribbean diaspora culture, from radio and sound-system traditions to Carnival and independent music promotion. Chronixx’s return is therefore more than a tour stop: it brings a leading voice of modern roots reggae back to a borough where Caribbean identity is lived publicly and across generations.

The artist last performed in Brooklyn in 2018, according to announcements from the event’s partners. His long-awaited return gives local fans an opportunity to hear a catalogue shaped by reggae’s spiritual, social and African-centred traditions.
Chronixx has described the forthcoming date as a moment of “transformation and celebration” with his New York audience. Bobby Clarke, owner and chief executive of Irie Jam Radio, said the event reflected the station’s commitment to showcasing Jamaican music and culture at a high level.
A community-centred setting
The venue adds further meaning to the occasion. The former Bedford Union Armory was redeveloped into the Major R. Owens Health & Wellness Community Center, named for the late Brooklyn congressman and community advocate.
For a performer whose work often addresses home, belonging and cultural memory, the Crown Heights setting connects Jamaica’s musical inheritance with a diaspora community that has helped sustain reggae’s global reach.
