Sean Paul conquers the Waldbühne: tickets for the mega concert now available!

The pulse of the city beats to the rhythm of the music! On Friday, May 22nd, 2026, the Waldbühne in Northeim will be the venue for an exciting concert when international dancehall star Sean Paul takes the stage. Organized by Living Concerts, the event begins at 7 p.m. and the gates open at 5 p.m.

Sean Paul, born in Kingston, Jamaica in 1973, is not just a musician, but a legend of the dancehall scene. His musical breakthrough came in the late 1990s with the hit "Infiltrate" in 1997, followed by his first international hit "Gimme The Light" in 2001. He celebrated his first number 1 success on the Billboard charts with "Get Busy", released in 2002.

A masterpiece of dancehall culture

Sean Paul's second album "Dutty Rock" redefined dancehall music and was a real hit - it contained four Top 15 hits on the Billboard, including "Like Glue" and the duet "I'm Still In Love With You" with Sasha. This album won a Grammy for Best Reggae Album and cemented its status as one of Jamaica's greatest musical exports.

Collaborations with artists such as Beyoncé, Blu Cantrell and Busta Rhymes have further catapulted Sean Paul into the international music Olympus. His songs such as “Temperature” have achieved high chart positions not only in Jamaica, but also in Canada, France, Australia and the United Kingdom. Ticket prices for the concert start at 70 euros plus advance booking fees and are available now.

Would you like a bit of linguistics?

When it comes to Sean Paul, the question arises as to the correct pronunciation of his name. In the Irish language, the name "Seán" (also spelled "Séan") is pronounced /ʃɒn/, which is close to the English "John". The “S” here is pronounced followed by a front vowel, like the English “sh” – so Sean sounds like “Shawn” in the English context. A small but nice anecdote for all language lovers!

From his first appearance in Carrot Jetter's "Nice Time" music video in 1994, followed by numerous hits and collaborations to his current career, Sean Paul is a prime example of artistic evolution. In recent years, in addition to collaborating with Dua Lipa and Sia, he also rose to prominence in 2023 with the song “Niña Bonita,” which made it to the Top 50 Hot Latin Songs.

His music remains in demand internationally and his influence on dancehall culture is undeniable. How Sean Paul continues to assert himself in the music business shows not only his versatility, but also that he has a good knack for collaborations that inspire across genre boundaries.

So be ready for an unforgettable evening full of rhythm and energy when Sean Paul rocks the Waldbühne in Northeim!
