Of the event, one of the promoters, Andrew Bellamy, said, “The demand for the event requires a December staging, so we’re simply delivering what patrons want. It seems that each year more Jamaicans have a greater appreciation for soca music, so we think it’s only right that we’re able to provide an avenue for them to revel in it. With the support of our sponsors, that will be a reality at the I Love Soca ‘Cooler Fête’.”

I Love Soca is one of the few soca events that carries a following outside of the traditional Jamaican carnival season. The anticipation for this staging is definitely on, as ‘socaholics’ are eagerly awaiting the event.

Tickets for the event can be found at The Pub, or from any of the event’s ambassadors.

Among the sponsors of I Love Soca are Appleton Estate, Nissan, Digicel,Pure Country, Bad Dawg Sausages and Sunnation.
