Caribbean Sydney Presents - The official state qualifier for the 2017 Australian Dancehall King & Queen competition.

Who will reign in 2017?

Supported by the best dancehall DJs and selectas across the state, and showcases from some of NSW's best dance crews, this night will be packed with pure Jamaican dancehall vibez.
