Kes

Produced by Live Nation

 

Trinidadian soca group Kes is returning to Central Park for another not-to-be missed, high-energy dance party following last year’s sold out concert at SummerStage. The band, celebrating their 20th anniversary this year, is known for their upbeat, Carnaval style that’s become emblematic of their genre, and for their collaborations with Snoop Dogg, Major Lazer and others.
