GRAMMY Award-winning dance hall and reggae star Sean Paul is crossing international waters and will be visiting Dorset for one show only.

Backed by a live band and back up dancers, the international superstar will be playing a ninety minute set on August 1 at the Lighthouse Poole.

Sean will be performing many of his multi-platinum selling hits such as Temperature, Get Busy, Gimme The Light, We Be Burning and Baby Boy.

Sean Paul has collaborated with some of the top musicians in the world, from Beyonce, Rihanna and Keisha Cole to Busta Rhymes, Jay Sean and Bob Sinclar and has played on many stages around the world, from festivals in Brazil to sold out shows at the London 02 Arena.

Sean promises to bring the same level of entertainment and energy to the 2,500 crowd in Poole.

Warm up acts will be a combination of highly regarded dance groups and very talented signed and unsigned musicians both from the local area and around the country.

There will be a pre-party held at DNA in Bournemouth on July 30 from 10pm till 4am and an after party held at Aqua in Poole as soon as the concert finishes till the early hours of the morning.

All ticket holders over the age of 18 will gain free admission to both parties. The tickets cost £35.95 with no booking fees and are available on www.soentertainment.net; a link for the tickets can also be found on the Lighthouse website.
