Dancehall star Masicka is preparing for what could be one of the biggest weekends of his career, announcing the release of his forthcoming album, Forever Reign, on August 14, followed by his début headlining performance at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center during Reggae Fest on August 15.

The back-to-back milestones mark another major step in the Jamaican entertainer’s international ascent, as he continues to expand his reach beyond the Caribbean while helping to elevate dancehall on the global stage.

News of the Barclays Center booking drew widespread industry attention, with Billboard first reporting the announcement, highlighting the significance of Masicka becoming one of the featured headliners at one of New York City’s premier entertainment venues.
