If you are looking for something to do tonight (Thursday 3 December) then grab tickets to see Yellowman in concert at the popular music venue Paard van Troje in The Hague.

King Yellowman has an incredible history in Reggae music. His upbringing at the Maxfield Home orphanage in Kingston and being albino in Jamaica were two obstacles the he overcame and went on to be (at one time) the biggest reggae artist since Bob Marley. His ability to ride rhythm and excite a crowd made Yellowman an instant hit in Jamaica.

In 1986, Yellowman was diagnosed with jaw cancer and was given six months to live. After surgery an extended leave of absence from the record industry, Yellowman began his comeback with the song "Blueberry Hill", and his career was re-launched.

He has managed to outlive his predicted fate of death and his performances are incredibly lively as he seems to have an unlimited amount of stage energy.

No doubt this energy will resonate throughout the Paard van Troje with a lively performance that should not be missed.

"Jamaica's albino son Yellowman made as many enemies as fans with his controversial, often overtly sexist (if tongue in cheek) lyrics. Now back on the Ragga scene, singing at a slightly slower pace, Yellowman's witticisms are as cheeky, spirited and intelligent as ever, and delivered with his customary sharp, melodic style."
