Pack the sunscreen and the lighters. Capleton has confirmed he will perform on the 11th annual Welcome to Jamrock Reggae Cruise, which sets sail on 11 November and runs until 16 November.

The St. Mary-born veteran broke the news with a short Instagram post full of flame emojis, tagging the cruise’s official account and adding the hashtags #WelcomeToJamrock, #JamrockReggaeCruise, #WTJRC2026 and #Jamrock2026.

What we know

• Dates: 11–16 November 2026
• Departure: Miami, according to Capleton’s post
• Jamaican ports of call: Falmouth and Ocho Rios
• The name: taken from Damian Marley’s 2005 single ‘Welcome to Jamrock’

DancehallMag reports that the full lineup has not been made public yet, and it isn’t clear which night Capleton performs, or whether his set will be on board or during one of the port stops. The Ocho Rios stop puts the cruise in St. Ann, right next door to his home parish.

Capleton came up through the dancehall scene of the late 1980s before moving to a conscious, Rastafari-centred sound in the mid-1990s, and he’s had a busy autumn. He headlined Livewire in Clarendon at the end of October, and his album ‘Heights Of Fire’ recently passed 35 million Spotify streams.
