Chronixx is heading back to Brooklyn! Chronixx Live in Brooklyn, presented with Irie Jam Radio, takes place on Wednesday 25 November from 7pm at the Brooklyn Armory in Crown Heights. It will be his first Brooklyn performance since 2018.

The night is billed as a roots reggae concert and cultural celebration for the Caribbean diaspora in New York, and Chronixx is promising something special. He described it as “another moment of transformation and celebration” with his New York family, and promised “real heartical roots music like we’ve never seen it before.”

Irie Jam backs the show

Bobby Clarke, owner and CEO of Irie Jam Radio, said: “This show signifies Irie Jam’s commitment to showcasing and uplifting our music and our culture at the highest level. Chronixx personifies this.”

About the venue

The Brooklyn Armory is now known as the Major R Owens Health & Wellness Community Center. It was built in 1903 as the Bedford Union Armory and later redeveloped into a community centre named after the late US Congressman Major R Owens, and today it hosts recreation and community programmes.

The show’s themes tie in with Chronixx’s album ‘Exile’, which explores home, displacement and staying connected to where you come from. That’s a fitting soundtrack for a night that brings the diaspora together.

Ticket details weren’t included in the report, so keep an eye on Chronixx’s and Irie Jam Radio’s official channels. New York massive, this one is a must.
