Warlord Bounty Killer and his team lands in Toronto.

Toronto: It is official! Dancehall icon Bounty Killer and his management team touched down in Toronto just moments ago, marking his first visit to the city in over two decades. With a commanding presence and signature energy, Bounty emerged from the aircraft and declared, “T-Dot whey dey yah—and it naw go normal!”

The legendary deejay is set to headline the Oasis Music Festival on August 23, 2025, at Markham Fairgrounds, joining a power-packed lineup that includes Cham, Dexta Daps, and Mr. Killa. The festival promises a full-scale celebration of dancehall and soca culture, uniting fans from across Canada and beyond.

“2025 is turning out to be a special year for Bounty Killer,” said Paul 'Bankie' Giscombe, Bounty’s longtime manager, just moments after arriving.

“With his return to the U.S. stage at a sold-out Barclays Center show on July 5 and now this historic trip back to Toronto after 20 years—it’s clear God has blessed Bounty and the team,” Bankie shared.

Toronto, home to nearly four million people—including over 500,000 Caribbean nationals—has long been a major hub for dancehall, reggae, and hip-hop. Despite a two-decade absence, Bounty’s music has remained dominant in Canadian sound systems and airwaves.

Songs like Slow Motion, Fed Up, Copper Shot, “Living Dangerously” (with Barrington Levy) and the chart-topping “Hey Baby” with No Doubt have cemented his place in Canadian music culture. According to Music Metrics Vault, “Hey Baby” remains his most streamed song in Canada, with over 60 million plays. Other fan favorites include “WHERE YOU COME FROM” (featuring Buju Banton and Capleton).

Toronto’s dancehall legacy continues with stars like Drake, Kardinal Offishall, Lexxicon, and Michie Mee, all of whom have cited dancehall's influence. Now, the Warlord’s return adds new fuel to the city’s Jamaican fire.

“Bounty is eager to reconnect with his thousands of die-hard fans here in Toronto,” Bankie added. “It’s more than a concert—it’s a moment in dancehall history.” By Anthony Turner
