Renowned star of reggae, Stonebwoy, dancehall, and afrobeats, headlined the second day of Germany‘s largest reggae and dancehall festival, Summerjam. His spectacular performance elevated the festival’s spirits, reminiscent of the previous year’s event.
Taking the stage promptly at 4:30 p.m., Stonebwoy began his set with “Overlord,” a 2023 single that pays homage to his reggae and dancehall roots. This song marked his first official release of 2023, following his album “5th Dimension,” and was well-received by the German audience.
Throughout his performance, 1 GAD delivered a mix of classic hits and recent releases, including “Run Go” (2015), “People Dey” (2016), “Activate” (a collaboration with Davido), and his latest single “Your Body,” praised as an ideal summer anthem for the festival.
He dedicated the early part of his set to the legendary Bob Marley, performing “Praise Jah in the Moonlight” and his verse on the “Buffalo Soldier” remix. Stonebwoy then smoothly transitioned through fan favorites like “Hero,” “Apotheke” featuring DJ Maphorisa, “Non-Stop,” and “Life & Money.”
This appearance marked Stonebwoy’s third at Summerjam, following his debut in 2018 and a headline set in 2022. Known for his exceptional musicianship and commanding stage presence, he created the unique atmosphere that has made the festival globally renowned, celebrating its 37th anniversary with an unforgettable performance.
Stonebwoy’s Summerjam set followed a series of recent activities in Europe, including attending Paris Fashion Week and recording with the legendary Wyclef Jean in London. His new single “Your Body” features a vibrant visual narrative that celebrates African beauty, self-love, and body positivity.
