Expect surprises at Eastern Extravaganza

Eastern Extravaganza will be celebrating 10 years on New Year’s Day at the Mountain View Oval in Kingston.

Known for its incredible line-up and community focus, the event has maintained a 100 per cent incident-free record despite being hosted in a region often perceived as volatile.

“Over the years we’ve worked tirelessly to give back to the community and bring people together through music. Our 10th anniversary is a testament to how far we’ve come, and we’re excited for what’s ahead,” Co-director Judah Nugent told the Jamaica Observer.

The other director is Rayon Thompson.

This year, the festival promises a mix of reggae icons like Capleton, Sizzla, and Richie Spice, alongside dancehall stars such as Chronic Law, Tommy Lee, and Shawn Storm.

Nugent added that his team still has some pleasantries up its sleeve.

“Even though we have a great line-up, Eastern Extravaganza is known for its surprises. Expect some unexpected pop-up performances from top headliners,” Nugent said.

He added: “The event’s mission remains clear: To promote peace and unity through music. Our goal is to reduce tension and foster understanding among residents. We want to give local talent the platform they deserve while creating job opportunities and mentorship for the community. From the moment you step in you’ll feel the positive energy of thousands of people sharing a love for great music. It’s an experience you don’t want to miss.”

For those attending, convenient and secure parking will be available at both Excelsior High School and Exed Community College. VIP parking will be provided at Mountain View Primary, ensuring easy access for all patrons.

In addition to the main stage performances, VIP areas and live-streaming on Onstage TV will enhance the experience.

“We’ve made sure there’s something for everyone — from great deals at the bar to an exclusive VIP area where you can get closer to your favourite artistes. As it celebrates a decade of success, Eastern Extravaganza is more than just a concert; it’s a movement for community growth and cultural pride. This event is about so much more than music. It’s an opportunity to participate in something that fosters peace, unity, and development in our community. This is a reflection of what it means to be Jamaican,” the co-promoter said.

Tommy Lee Sparta will return to the Eastern Extravaganza stage..
