Inner Circle’s high-energy live shows take audiences on a journey from Jamaica’s roots in the ’60s and ’70s to multi-platinum hits and modern classics like “Young, Wild & Free” and the 2015 hit remix of “Tenement Yard” with Chronixx. Their performances have graced the world’s biggest festivals, sharing stages with legends like Elton John, Peter Gabriel, Van Morrison, Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, Carlos Santana, and many more.

With a discography spanning 20+ studio albums, a Grammy Award, multiple IRAWMA honors, and a world-renowned recording studio in Miami, Inner Circle continues to innovate, collaborate with rising stars, and deliver reggae with universal appeal.
