Tickets are still available for a reggae concert featuring three powerhouses of the genre.

Spragga Benz, Wayne Wonder and Agent Sasco are scheduled to perform at the Miramar Cultural Center at 8 p.m. on Saturday, May 30, with several guest artists for Journey to Kingston.

Tickets range from $90 to $106.

Special guests include Don Yute, Everton Blender, Ky-Mani Marley and Big D leading the Florida Memorial University Orchestra.

Other big names recently announced: Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley, Stephen Marley, Tanya Stephens and Kevin Lyttle.

“This is a tremendous opportunity to partner with Spragga Benz,” Commissioner Maxwell Chambers said in an interview with Papa Keith, the concert host, on 103.5 The Beat.

“It’s a no brainer. To have this once-in-a-lifetime event at the City of Miramar. … The journey to Kingston, it’s something that is very, very special, and special to all of us of the Caribbean,” he continued.

Benz is known for tracks such as “She Nuh Ready Yet” and “Girls Hoorah.” His latest single, “We,” was released this May. He will celebrate his 57th birthday at the concert.

“No Letting Go” singer Wayne Wonder will bring his recognizable vocals to the stage as another dancehall icon. Wonder has more than just the one hit — “Saddest Day” and “I Still Believe” are other top tracks from the artist.

Agent Sasco, also known as Assassin, is known for his work with other reggae artists such as Chronixx, Stephen Marley and Romain Virgo. His albums feature a classic dancehall deejay sound. He worked alongside Benz and Ky-Mani Marley in the film “Shottas.”

Journey to Kingston tickets are available at the Miramar Cultural Center website.
