Fresh off a history-making Grammy win and two back-to-back sold-out headline shows in major U.S. entertainment hubs, Jamaican reggae powerhouse Keznamdi is not letting his momentum slow down—instead, he is gearing up for his next big career leap. The internationally celebrated artist has officially locked in the first round of U.S. tour dates for his much-hyped BLXXD & FYAH Live World Tour, produced in partnership with global live entertainment leader Live Nation. The announcement arrives as the latest high point in what has already been a career-defining breakthrough year for the musician.
This tour reveal comes on the heels of a rapturously received two-city run earlier this year, where Keznamdi sold out two iconic intimate venues: Los Angeles’ Hotel Café and New York City’s legendary SOB’s. These sets marked his first live performances since taking home the award for Best Reggae Album at the 68th Grammy Awards—a win that made history for the artist, and solidified his growing footprint on the global reggae scene. The explosive, well-received shows only stoked fan demand for a full-scale tour across the country.
At the recent small-venue shows, audiences got a front-row look at Keznamdi’s one-of-a-kind artistic style: a genre-blending mix of thoughtful, conscious lyricism, soulful catchy melodies, and magnetic on-stage energy that has become his trademark. This preview only amplified the already high excitement surrounding the full BLXXD & FYAH live experience, pushing ticket demand to new heights.
Keznamdi’s hot streak extends far beyond his Grammy victory, too. Just last month, the artist picked up two nominations at the International Reggae and World Music Awards (IRAWMA): one nod for Best Album for BLXXD & FYAH, and another for Best Song for his fan-favorite collaboration Forever Grateful, which features dancehall icon Masicka. These nominations add another layer of industry acclaim to a project that has already connected deeply with reggae audiences across every continent.
In a statement reflecting on his rapid rise and the upcoming tour, Keznamdi emphasized his gratitude to the fans that have supported his journey every step of the way. “A few months ago we were celebrating a Grammy. A few weeks ago we packed out rooms in Los Angeles and New York. Now it’s time for the next chapter. We’re bringing the BLXXD & FYAH live experience back on the road this October in bigger venues. And to everyone carrying this music around the world, thank you for walking this journey with us,” he said.
The first U.S. leg of the tour will kick off this October, with stops scheduled in San Francisco on October 4, San Diego on October 8, Los Angeles on October 9, Philadelphia on October 14, and New York on October 15. Additional tour dates across the U.S. and other global markets are expected to be unveiled in the coming weeks. As it stands, the BLXXD & FYAH Live World Tour is on track to become one of the most landmark moments of Keznamdi’s fast-growing international career, a run of shows that continues to lift up reggae music on some of the world’s biggest live entertainment stages.
