ST. KITTS (May 19, 2026) — Organizers of the St. Kitts Music Festival have added R&B legends Boyz II Men and rising dancehall artist Skippa to the 2026 lineup, further elevating what is already one of the Caribbean’s premier summer music events.
The additions were announced Tuesday for the three-day festival, scheduled for June 25-27 at Warner Park Cricket Stadium. Boyz II Men will perform on Saturday, June 27, while Skippa takes the stage Friday, June 26.

Skippa, known for his raw energy and commanding stage presence, represents the vibrant new wave of Caribbean talent.
“The addition of Boyz II Men and Skippa to an already dynamic roster is a statement of intent,” said Marsha Henderson, St. Kitts and Nevis Minister of Tourism. “Boyz II Men are living legends, their music has touched and inspired generations across the globe, and bringing them to Warner Park is a proud moment for St. Kitts and for every fan who has ever been captivated by their sound. And in Skippa, we are championing the energy and talent that is rising right here in our region, bold, authentic, and impossible to ignore.”
Henderson added that the new acts “elevate what is already an extraordinary lineup into something historic. The 28th edition of the St. Kitts Music Festival is not just an event; it is a cultural moment, and we invite the world to be part of it.”
