Maxi Priest

Event information

Table reservations from 6pm | Live Music: 9pm

Maxi Priest, the British trailblazer of reggae fusion, takes to the Boisdale stage for a rare and intimate performance in the heart of Canary Wharf. With worldwide hits like “Close to You”, “Wild World”, and “Some Guys Have All the Luck”, his voice has soundtracked generations of romance and rhythm. Blending reggae, soul and R&B with effortless charm, this is a golden opportunity to hear a true icon in his element - up close, with a cocktail in hand and a front-row seat to music history.

With over 15 million albums sold and collaborations spanning Shaggy to Sly & Robbie, Maxi Priest remains one of the only British artists to conquer the American reggae charts. His breakthrough album Bonafide made history with the Billboard No.1 hit “Close to You”, cementing his legacy as a pioneer of British reggae fusion.

Blending reggae, R&B and pop with smooth sophistication, Maxi’s music speaks of love, upliftment and unity - always delivered in those velvet-smooth vocals that have charmed global audiences. From “Wild World” to “Housecall”, his set promises a rich journey through decades of soul-soaked anthems.

This rare, up-close performance in the heart of Canary Wharf offers something truly special: iconic hits, intimate acoustics and the kind of night where every lyric lingers long after the final note.

Support Act:

Ada Morghe is a boundary-pushing jazz and soul artist whose smoky, intimate vocals have drawn comparisons to Sade - an early influence via her mother’s record collection. From starring in and scoring the film Frau Mutter Tier to recording at Abbey Road with Prince’s former sound engineer, she’s carved a path through genre and form with albums like Pictures, Box, and 2023’s elemental suite Lost. Her latest release, Pure Good Vibes, is her most natural and emotionally direct yet, blending sophisticated grooves with raw heart. This year, she brought her magnetic live presence to stages across the UK, supporting soul legend Billy Ocean on tour.
