Anthony B is bringing a full coronation to Queens, and the lineup he\u2019s assembled makes it clear this isn\u2019t just another show. <\/p>\n

Dubbed \u201cThe Crowning of Anthony B,\u201d the event is set for Saturday, August 29, 2026, at Club Amazura 91-12 144th Place with tickets starting at $60 in advance and more available at the door.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"Anthony B<\/p>\n

The name alone sets a tone. Calling it a \u201ccrowning\u201d rather than a concert or a tour stop signals something more ceremonial, more deliberate like Anthony B is planting a flag in New York and daring the reggae world to take notice.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s not showing up alone, either. The bill includes I-Wayne, Ginjah, Congo Brains, Real Real Mckoy, and Spirit Ah Truth Dolly Don a roster that spans different corners of the reggae and dancehall spectrum and gives the night real depth beyond just one headliner.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

On the music side, King Addies and Platinum Kids are handling sound<\/a> duties, which should tell you something about the vibe they\u2019re going for. <\/p>\n

King Addies in particular carries serious weight in the New York sound system<\/a> world, and their presence suggests this is being built for people who actually know their reggae history.<\/p>\n

The post itself came straight from Anthony B\u2019s Instagram, complete with a sound check photo from Amazura so the venue is already locked in and preparations are underway. <\/p>\n

That kind of early confirmation tends to build anticipation fast, especially among the New York reggae community, which doesn\u2019t get this caliber of lineup at a single venue all that often.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Club Amazura has hosted its share of Caribbean music events over the years, and Queens is arguably the right borough for a show like this the cultural density there means the room is likely to be filled with people who\u2019ve been following these artists for decades, not just casual fans who stumbled across a playlist. <\/p>\n

Anthony B has been a fixture in roots reggae<\/a> since the 1990s, and a show framed around his \u201ccrowning\u201d will land differently for longtime listeners than it might for newer ones.<\/p>\n

Whether the night lives<\/a> up to the title is a question that only plays out on the 29th. But with I-Wayne and Ginjah on the same stage, and King Addies on the system, the ingredients are there for something that the New York reggae crowd will be talking about well into September.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Anthony B is bringing a full coronation to Queens, and the lineup he\u2019s assembled makes it clear this…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":333193,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[125317,9,24,63,122,124,123],"class_list":["post-333192","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-queens","tag-anthony-b","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-queens","tag-queens-headlines","tag-queens-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/333192","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=333192"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/333192\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/333193"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=333192"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=333192"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=333192"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
