Luciano is set to join Capleton for two performances in England this month, adding another international engagement to a busy 2026 schedule for the veteran Jamaican reggae singer.

The “Messenjah” will appear with Capleton on September 19 at O2 Academy Birmingham, followed by a second performance on September 20 at O2 Academy Brixton in London. Both dates are part of Capleton’s Heights of Fire UK tour.

The Birmingham performance is scheduled for Saturday, September 19, with doors opening at 7 p.m. The official O2 Academy Birmingham listing identifies Luciano alongside Capleton for the event.

The following evening, the two artists will move to London for the Brixton date. Capleton’s UK tour information also lists Luciano for the September 20 performance.

The appearances place Luciano alongside one of Jamaica’s most established reggae and dancehall performers at two major UK venues. Rather than being a standalone Luciano tour, the shows form part of Capleton’s current Heights of Fire campaign, which includes three UK dates this month, with the other taking place at O2 Academy Bristol on September 17.

For Luciano, the UK dates continue an international performance schedule that has kept the singer active on the global reggae circuit.

He was among the performers at Rototom Sunsplash 2026 in Spain, where he appeared with the Jah Messenjah Band during the festival’s reggae programme. His continued presence at major reggae events has kept his live catalogue in circulation well beyond Jamaica.

The upcoming UK shows also bring together two artists whose careers have developed across different strands of Jamaican popular music while remaining firmly connected to reggae’s international audience.

Capleton is currently touring in support of Heights of Fire, while Luciano’s appearance adds a roots-reggae dimension to the Birmingham and London dates.

With the two performances now less than two weeks away, Luciano’s September schedule places him once again in front of European reggae audiences — this time alongside Capleton for back-to-back UK appearances.

The Birmingham show takes place September 19, with the London performance following on September 20.
