Ticket to the Tropics

With over fifty years under their belt, Third World remains one of the most iconic and consistent reggae acts in the world. Founded in Kingston in 1973, the band achieved their international breakthrough as the opening act for Bob Marley & the Wailers and evolved into the pioneers of 'reggae-fusion.' By seamlessly weaving roots reggae with R&B, funk, and pop, they scored global hits such as '96° in the Shade' and the dancefloor classic 'Now That We’ve Found Love.'

A vital part of their legendary status is co-founder and guitarist Stephen 'Cat' Coore, named by Rolling Stone as one of the greatest guitarists of all time. With nine Grammy nominations and the prestigious Jamaican Music Icon Award to their name, the band brings a powerhouse lineup to Paradiso in 2026. This special performance is dedicated entirely as a tribute to the musical legacy of 'Cat' Coore. Led by bassist Richard Daley and the commanding vocals of AJ Brown, the band celebrates the rich history of one of Jamaica’s greatest gifts to the world.

How to get to Paradiso

Paradiso is on the Weteringschans 6-8 in Amsterdam. That is very close to Leidseplein. From every part of the city there are trams heading towards Leidseplein. From there on out you can walk to Paradiso. Free and secured underground bike parking is available on the opposite side of Paradiso. Travelling by car is difficult, since there are only a few busy parking lots nearby.
