Konshens replaces Beenie on Jerk Fest line-up

Konshens has been added to the line-up for Monday's St Ann Jerk Festival at Grizzly's Plantation Cove in Richmond, St Ann.

The Bruk Off Yuh Back singer replaces Beenie Man who was originally set to headline the show but had to withdraw because of overseas commitment.

"Konshens has been confirmed for St Ann Jerk Festival, on Independence Day. Beenie Man, unfortunately, will not be appearing," Kirkland Kelly of Streets Promotion, organisers of the event, told The Star on Tuesday.

The late change sees Beenie Man's name and image still appearing on some promotional material.
