"We're more than happy to partner with Music Town to promote this event to give the people in western Jamaica a taste of the original dancehall vibes. We want the patrons to come out and experience old-school dancehall entertainment in fine style therefore, we are going all out to make this event a top-notch production," said a spokesperson for Fortis Kings.

'Ribbittt' will feature performances from the likes of Peter Metro, Josey Wales, Professor Nuts, Luciano, I-Wayne, Andy Livingston, and Principal Grundeh.

"We want to give the patrons attending "Ribbittt" nothing but the absolute best, therefore we've put together an exciting entertainment package that includes some of the best acts with a large catalogue of songs," the spokesperson added.
