Valiant to headline Coca-Cola’s Bites & Beats Festival
Dancehall hitmaker Valiant is set to headline Coca-Cola’s Bites & Beats Festival – The Live Experience food and music festival happening on Saturday, July 26, at Palm Drive, Hope Gardens, in St Andrew.
Known for chart-topping hits like Mad Out and Gwaan Suh, Valiant is expected to bring his signature high-energy performance to the stage, connecting with fans through music that reflects the vibrancy of Jamaican culture.
The event, which is part of Coca-Cola’s Share a Coke campaign, promises to transform the venue into a cultural playground of flavour, rhythm, and expression, with a curated food court, live entertainment, interactive brand experiences, and creative spaces inspired by Coca-Cola’s bold, feel-good spirit.
“Bites and Beats is a celebration of connection, personalisation, joy, and shared moments,” said Chantellee McDonald, senior brand manager, Coca-Cola portfolio, Wisynco Group Limited. “It’s bringing in one space the things that we as Jamaicans love — music, food, and togetherness.”
She added: “We are excited to feature Valiant as our headline performer; he brings unmatched energy to the stage and, with the dynamic and talented DJ line-up, we know the vibes will be unforgettable.”
The deejay line-up includes DJ Gabby, Marc Chin of Coppershot, Tonio Chromatic, Nico Lee, and Kryptic, who will be keeping the beats flowing throughout the night.
Patrons can also enjoy the Coke Store, where they can personalise their bottles and access exclusive merch. There will also be the Coke Studio, a creative space where budding musicians can produce music inspired by the Bites & Beats rhythm, which launched July 15 on @wisyncohub. The rhythm was created by DJ Mac.
Entry to the festival is free with six Coca-Cola ‘Share a Coke’ bottle labels. Gates open at 5:00 pm.
