It was one of the main sticking points for the Portmore Empire camp that their travelling/ touring abilities were significantly handicapped. For one, their popularity "globally" is very much limited in comparison to the alliance camp members namely - Mavado, Elephant, Busy Signal and Serani. The other thorn in the flesh for the camp was the lack of visas to travel anywhere that requires one. Thus the groups earning power was and perhaps still is limited to a merge market reach which included small parts of Caricom and of course some shows in Jamaica. So it was perhaps with great delight to the Gaza members and fans that it was announced that they will be having a small tour of Europe at the end of September.
It is reported that Vybz Kartel would be a part of the Amsterdam Reggae Festival at
the Heineken Music Hall in Holland on Saturday, September 25th. The gaza don will also perform on at the Crystal Lounge in Zurich, Switzerland on
Friday, September 24th. The DJ and Sometimes SingJ will finish up his small European excursion with a performance at the Elyesse Montmarte in Paris, France on September 26th.
According to reports Vybz Kartel was last in Europe three years ago where he also performed in Amsterdam, Holland and in Paris, France.
Also in the pipeline is Gaza Slim to do a short stint in England this weekend, whilst Shawn Storm is expected to do a tour of Japan in October.
For some this is mere speculation because its well known that Kartel Still doesnt have a visa to the states nor for the UK, and there is still some uncertainty by fans that he has schengen visa
