Back in 2002, Sean Paul’s “Gimme the Light” reached No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100, kicking off one of the most prolific crossover careers in dancehall history. Two decades later, Ice Spice, one of the hottest names in contemporary hip-hop, announced her own “Gimme the Light”-sampling single during her 2024 Coachella performance — just one example of how seminal Sean Paul’s contributions to the fabric of American pop culture have become.

On May 2, Paul willl launch a 22-date U.S. trek – crowned the Greatest Tour – at House of Blues in Orlando, Florida, marking his longest Stateside tour in over 10 years. The production will visit major U.S. cities such as Las Vegas, Brooklyn and New Orleans, before concluding at the Fillmore in Charlotte, North Carolina, on June 16.

“I feel that the people are ready for me again,” Paul recently told the Associated Press. And he’s correct: His last two studio albums – 2021’s Live n Livin (No. 9) and 2022’s Grammy-nominated Scorcha (No. 6) — both reached the top 10 on Top Reggae Albums, becoming his seventh and eighth consecutive titles to hit that region. 

With timeless classics like “Get Busy,” “Temperature,” “We Be Burnin” and the Beyoncé-assisted “Baby Boy” to his name, Sean Paul is armed with an arsenal of smash hits that few can rival – and he intends to re-explore his sprawling catalog on his new tour. Far from a mere nostalgia grab, the Greatest Tour also grants Paul the opportunity to bring his recent Latin music collaborations to life across the U.S. So far in the 2020s, the dancehall legend has already joined forces with major Latin stars such as Wisin & Yandel (“No Sales de Mi Cabeza”), Manuel Turizo (“Dem Time Deh”), Feid (“Niña Bonita”) and Billboard 200 chart-topper Karol G (“Kármika”).
