The stage show — which had its genesis in 1999 — was discontinued by the security forces after the unrest of May 2010 which saw 73 civilians losing their lives. Three members of Jamaica’s security forces also lost their lives in the operation. An inquiry in that incident is currently under way at Jamaica Conference Centre in downtown Kingston.

Scheduled for a 7:00 pm start, Sunday’s performances include dancehall acts Beenie Man, Sizzla, I-Octane, Elephant Man, Christopher Martin, George Nooks and Bugle.
“Everyone knows what to expect when it come on to West Kingston Jamboree,” said Coke.
