A little over two months from the 30th anniversary of STING, organizers of the highly-anticipated stage show have confirmed the return of one of its all-time great performers while securing the services of a popular overseas artist, according to reports Thursday.
Supercat, known for being one of Dancehall’s supreme acts in the 1990s, will return to STING for his first performance in Jamaica since 2001. It was at STING, in part, where the self-professed ‘Don Dada’ made a name for himself as one of genre’s elite, taking part in a legendary clash with fellow Dancehall icon, Ninja Man at the 1991 edition of the show. His most recent performance was as a surprise guest at Hot 97's On Da Reggae Tip show in New York in August.
