The highly anticipated Black on Black concert, headlined by Vybz Kartel on March 15, in Tortola, was an unforgettable experience that lived up to all expectations. With over two thousand people in attendance, the night was filled with a dynamic mix of Caribbean music, energy, and a few unexpected surprises that kept the crowd on their feet.
Local superstar Priceless kicked off the event with an energetic set, setting a lively tone for the evening. As the night progressed, a diverse lineup of talented British Virgin Islands artists, including Banco Bizmol, international recording artist Monae, local reggae and soca sensation Sister Joyce, and Revelation Deh Royal, each took the stage, adding their own unique flair to the celebration. However, it was Pressure’s surprise appearance that truly sent the crowd into a frenzy. His performance of “Virgin Islands Nice” injected an electrifying burst of energy, taking the night to new heights.
Jahsheed of Jahfeed cohosted the event with DJ Lady Mix, who kept the momentum going with her lively presence, ensuring the crowd remained hyped and engaged throughout the night. Her infectious charisma made her an excellent complement to the performances on stage.
Skillibeng’s set, in particular, was marred by ongoing sound issues, leaving an unfavorable taste in many people’s memories as the worst for the night.

When Vybz Kartel finally hit the stage, the wait proved to be well worth it. For two solid hours, Kartel delivered an unforgettable performance, commanding the stage with his signature hits and magnetic presence. Accompanied by his two sons and fellow artists, including Jah Vinci, Kartel reaffirmed his status as a dancehall legend.
Adding to the excitement, producer and artist Rvssian joined Vybz Kartel on stage for an unforgettable performance. Their collaboration brought an extra layer of intensity to the night, with Rvssian’s signature beats and Kartel’s commanding presence creating a powerful moment that had the crowd buzzing long after the performance ended.
The energy from the crowd was palpable, with many seeing his performance as a major highlight of the night.
One fan summed it up best, saying, “Am Out – Kartel’s price gone UP UP after tonight! Kartel held the crowd, sipped on some water twice, never looked exhausted. It was just good, good, good.”

While Kartel’s performance was undeniably exceptional, technical difficulties continued to impact the night’s flow. Skillibeng’s set, in particular, was marred by ongoing sound issues, leading to dissatisfaction from fans.
On the other hand, the VIP experience lived up to its name. Ultra VIP attendees were impressed with the exclusive services, enjoying an abundance of drinks, delicious food, and top-notch service. “My group and I can safely say it was the same across the board,” shared one attendee. “We never ran out of drinks, had good food, and the waitress service was top-tier. But you know, some will still complain—that’s expected no matter how good things were.”
As the concert drew to a close, Premier Hon. Natalio Wheatley took the stage to join in the celebration, adding an official touch to the already electric atmosphere. “It’s good to have a legend in the house…God is the Greatest,” he remarked.
In the end, Vybz Kartel’s Tortola concert reinforced his position as one of dancehall’s most influential figures. While technical glitches affected some performances, the energy and excitement surrounding Kartel’s long-awaited return made the night a memorable one. As the crowd dispersed, it was clear that Kartel’s price had indeed gone up after this extraordinary night in Tortola.
