The 5th Annual Independence Gopwell event is poised to deliver an unforgettable night of music and celebration tonight at the Newtown Savannah, starting at 10 PM. Organized by Dane ‘Danejahdane’ Smalling of Danejah Entertainment, this year’s event marks a significant milestone as it celebrates five years of Independence Gopwell. Smalling emphasized the grandeur of this edition, stating, ‘This is our biggest line-up yet, featuring Dominica’s superstars who have been touring the world.’ The event will showcase performances by Jamaica’s most-streamed dancehall artist, Chronic Law, alongside T Kimp Gee from Guadeloupe and Trinidad’s Zest Queen, Lady Lava. Smalling acknowledged the challenges of organizing this year’s event, citing the larger venue and full production handled by NSE Event Solutions. ‘It’s more demanding than previous years, as I’m involved in every detail,’ he said. Smalling also urged attendees to prioritize safety during the independence season, advising against driving while tired or intoxicated. ‘Badness is out of style. Dominica is too sweet for that,’ he remarked. Additional performances will feature Triple Kay International, Riddim Knockaz, DJ MJ, and many others. Tickets are available at various outlets and online, with Tier 1 tickets priced at EC$90 and VIP tickets at EC$350, all-inclusive.
