Buju Banton & Beres Hammond to Headline 2025 Best of the Best Music Fest

Taking place in Miami, Florida, this year’s edition of the long-running festival will celebrate the rich heritage of reggae, dancehall, and soca, bringing together legends and rising stars from across the diaspora.

Buju Banton, known for timeless anthems like “Wanna Be Loved” and “Destiny,” will return to the Best of the Best stage with his signature fire and energy. Alongside him, Beres Hammond — the undisputed king of lovers rock — will serenade fans with beloved tracks such as “Rockaway,” “No Disturb Sign,” and “I Feel Good.”

Their joint appearance marks a rare and monumental moment in Caribbean music, as both icons have shared stages before but seldom within such a star-studded, festival setting.

Organizers promise a weekend full of live performances, Caribbean cuisine, cultural showcases, and a vibrant atmosphere celebrating Caribbean pride. Previous years have seen appearances from artists like Mavado, Capleton, Spice, and Mr. Vegas, and this year’s lineup is expected to be equally stacked.

Tickets are now available, and fans are encouraged to secure theirs early as this headliner announcement has already sparked a surge in demand.

Whether you’re coming for the vibes, the voices, or the unity, Best of the Best 2025 is shaping up to be one for the books — a true celebration of roots, rhythm, and royalty.
