Chronixx to play Brooklyn for the first time since 2018

NEW YORK, United States. Jamaican reggae artist Chronixx is returning to Brooklyn for his first performance in the borough in eight years, Irie Jam Radio and the singer have announced.

The concert, billed as Chronixx Live in Brooklyn, will take place at the Brooklyn Armory, at the Major R. Owens Health & Wellness Community Center, on Wednesday 25 November 2026 at 7pm. Irie Jam Radio and Chronixx are joint partners in the show.

It will be his first Brooklyn performance since 2018.

A venue with community roots

Ronnie Tomlinson, the Jamaican-born, Brooklyn-based entertainment promoter and chief executive of New York-based Destine Media, said the community centre is named in honour of the late US Representative Major R. Owens, who envisioned the armory as a gathering place. It now provides recreational and community space for Brooklyn residents.

Speaking to Caribbean Life on Monday 9 November, Ms Tomlinson said the venue's transformation offered "a fitting setting for Chronixx's music and its themes of family, spiritual upliftment and belonging".

She said that on his album Exile, the artist explores connections to home and one's roots, ideas she said resonate with people in the diaspora who build lives away from their homelands while keeping ties through family and community.

"The Brooklyn performance will bring those themes to life through roots reggae, creating space for reflection, joy and shared moments." Ronnie Tomlinson

'Heartical' roots music

Chronixx described the occasion as "another moment of transformation and celebration" with his New York family, promising "real 'heartical' roots music like we've never seen it before".

Bobby Clarke, owner and chief executive of Irie Jam Radio, said the show signified the station's commitment to showcasing and uplifting "our music and our culture at the highest level". "Chronixx personifies this," he said.
