Capleton isn’t arriving at Plantation Cove simply to run through the old favourites as he headlines ENCORE LIVE: Culture Rising at Plantation Cove in St. Ann. The Fireman will anchor a six-hour celebration that pulls together live reggae, sound-system culture and some serious Jamaican musical pedigree.

Presented by Midas Entertainment and 8 Rivaz Ultra Lounge, the day-to-evening experience runs from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. and will also feature reggae singer Nesbeth and celebrated saxophonist Dean Fraser, with DJ Delano of Renaissance and legendary St. Ann sound system Bass Odyssey controlling the musical atmosphere.

But at the centre of it all is a man who has never needed much help raising the temperature.

The veteran is in the middle of a fresh recording chapter.

His latest album, Heights Of Fire, released June 26 through Evidence Music, marked his first full-length studio album in 16 years.

The 16-track project features Damian Marley, Stephen Marley and Eesah and finds Capleton returning to familiar territory: spirituality, resistance, justice, righteousness and the uncompromising Rastafarian worldview that has defined much of his career.

In other words, the Fireman has new fuel.

“This is an experience you cannot afford to miss. Bring the family, bring your friends and bring the energy. Come ready for the message, the music, the vibration and the fire,” Capleton said.

“When the Fireman touches that stage, it’s going to be a frenzy situation. I’m coming to ignite the place, raise the energy and leave you with an experience you’ll never forget. Fire caan cool! Heights of Fire!”
