"International superstar" Sean Paul has been confirmed to play Siren festival at Bristol harbourside this summer. The three-day music event welcomes the Grammy award-winning rapper - who is considered to be one of dancehall's most prolific artists - as its Friday headliner.
Best known for Grammy-award winning 'Dutty Rock', 'Baby Boy' with Beyonce and 'Cheap Thrills' with Sia, he is the only Jamaican artist to have won an American Music award for Favourite Pop/Rock Male Artist. He played Bristol's O2 Academy back in 2011 but is gearing up to return to the city for the harbourside festival on July 28.
Tom Hoyle, Co-Founder of Siren, said: “Sean Paul is an international superstar and one of the biggest names in dancehall music so having him on the Siren stage this summer is an incredible honour. He’s an act whose output over the last 20 years has connected with so many different audiences and we’re really excited to be bringing him to Bristol for the first time in over 12 years!”
