After 13 years Capleton granted visa to travel to the UK

Rastafarian reggae star Capleton will be returning to the United Kingdom for the first time in 13 years as he was recently granted a work permit to perform in that country.

Cabel Stephenson and Tameka Reynolds, the principals of Free People Entertainment, are the masterminds of the move that has paved the way for Capleton’s return to the lucrative UK market.

“We approached it with an open mind, and we focused on Capleton’s ability as an artiste, a humanitarian, and a great human being. There was an objection for obvious reasons, but we’re past those obstacles,” Cabel Stephenson, head of Free People Entertainment, said.

“Capleton is a loving person, a humanitarian person, he has applied himself in his community every day. He gives to the less fortunate and indigent in his community. His door is always open to them. He doesn’t discriminate against people based on any orientation.”

He is booked to appear as a special guest on a show in December 2023, and he will be doing a spring tour in the UK in 2024.

Capleton is currently on a tour organised by Free People Entertainment and Mediacom. The Wings of the Morning artiste has upcoming dates at Evenstar in Mouilleron-le-Captif in France on November 2 before heading off to the Le Splendid in Lille on November 3, and Lyon on November 7.

The Fireman’s remaining seven performances will span The Netherlands, Italy, the Slovakian capital Bratislava, with additional performances in France.

Capleton has been bringing back the authentic vibe and energy in the music, which Europeans love and are accustomed to.

He is getting ready to complete his new studio album, his first studio project in over a decade, which is expected to re-energise his local fanbase.
