It goes down in Portmore, Jamaica, Kingston and this year is the 27th edition.

This year’s edition 2010 was launched at the Jamaica Pegasus hotel, in New Kingston, on Tuesday, announcing that the show re added the Warriors and  embraced a new main partner, telecommunications company LIME, first major sponsor in a couple of  years, after Guinness pulled off.

In past years a ‘Warriors’ category on a Sting concert would mean a clash was definitely in the making, but not at the 27th staging, which takes place at Jam World on December 26.

There will be a “Warriors” Category but not a clash even if Bounty Killer, Beenie Man and Vybz Kartel, which has proved a volatile mix in the past, are part of the crew of 13, which also includes Etana, Khago and I-Octane.

There are also 13 ‘Bag Girls’ including the ‘Bad Gyal’ Ce’Cile, Lisa Hyper, D’Angel, Ikaya, Face, Pamputae and Tifa.

Also a  surprise performer is slated to hit the stage at 11:45 p.m. Twin of Twins, Food Kartel, Tanto Blacks and Apache and Sarge have been charged with providing a combination of laughter and insight as ‘Sting Commentators’.

ER: WHO A TEK STING 2010 {KARTEL OR BOUNTY?} {MAVADO OR KARTEL?} {I-OCTANE OR KHAGO?} DON’T MISS IT
