The U.S. Virgin Islands Tourism Department and the Division of Festivals have announced a high-energy, six-night lineup for the 2025 St. John Celebration Village Nights, headlined by international reggae star Sean Paul and featuring top talent from across the Caribbean and the Virgin Islands.
The event, a highlight of the annual St. John Celebration, will open with soca powerhouse Patrice Roberts and continue with performances from some of the region’s most prominent artists, including Nailah Blackman, GBM Nutron, Asa Bantan, Krosfyah, Bunji Garlin, and Fay-Ann Lyons, according to a Tourism press release.
“Every year, the festivals team is challenged to make each celebration better than the last. I’m proud to say they’ve done it again, curating a lineup that is both globally recognized and culturally resonant,” said Joseph Boschulte, commissioner of the Tourism Department.
Local talent will be prominently featured throughout the week. Longtime favorites such as Jam Band, VIO Int’l, Spectrum Band, Blind Earz, and RVP Band will perform traditional calypso and modern Virgin Islands rhythms. Soca artists Rudy Live and Adam O will also bring high-energy performances to the stage, the press release stated.
Village Nights will close with a grand finale featuring Virgin Islands stars Pumpa and the Grammy-nominated duo R. City, following the Celebration’s traditional fireworks display, the release stated.
