Reggae artist Romain Virgo is set to make appearances in California, Oregon and Washington in the USA from June 21 to July 8 in promotion of his recently released album The System.

Virgo will perform alongside fellow artists such as Perfect and Prince Allah.

He will also be featured at major festivals like the Sierra Nevada World Music Festival, Reggae on The River and Bridge City Music Festival.

Details of Virgo's tour dates can be found at www.facebook.com/RomainVirgo.

Since its release last month, The System has remained in the upper ranks of the Billboard Reggae Album chart, where it debuted at number six. The album was launched at Emancipation Park, New Kingston.

In a recent article, Billboard describes Virgo as "a leading light among a new generation of roots reggae stars", and shared the view that he uses empowering messages over intricately textured one-drop rhythms instead of frenetic digital beats.
