Rising dancehall performer Merkz is set to bring the vibes to the Sharkies Night Futsal Beach Football Finals on Sunday, July 26, at Sharkies Seafood Restaurant in St Ann, promising fans an unforgettable night of entertainment, great football rivalry and celebration.

Fresh off the release of his debut EP, The Mad Life, the fast-rising entertainer will take to the stage throughout the night to deliver a high-energy performance following what is expected to be an intense night of beach football action. Gates open at 7:00 p.m.

The finals will see LLP square off against Hill Top in a highly anticipated championship clash as both teams battle for top honours and a share of the impressive cash prizes. The tournament champions will walk away with $500,000, while second and third place teams will receive $300,000 and $200,000, respectively.

The event is proudly supported by Campari and Magnum, brands that continue to invest in authentic Jamaican experiences that celebrate sport, music and community.

According to Dominic Bell, Communications Manager for Campari, supporting initiatives like the Sharkies Night Futsal Beach Football Finals aligns perfectly with the brand’s commitment to championing Jamaican culture and creating memorable consumer experiences.

“Campari is proud to support initiatives like this because they bring together the very best of Jamaican culture—community, sport, music and celebration,” Bell said.

“These events provide meaningful opportunities to connect with consumers in authentic spaces while supporting local talent, both on the field and on the stage. Whether it’s the excitement of the football finals or the energy that Merkz will bring through his performance, this event perfectly reflects the vibrant spirit and passion that Campari and Magnum celebrate.”

Having built a growing reputation with his authentic sound, lyrical versatility and commanding stage presence, Merkz has quickly become one of dancehall’s emerging talents to watch. His debut EP, The Mad Life, which climbed to No. 1 on the Apple Music Albums chart in Jamaica in May 2026, has further cemented his place among the new generation of artistes, which will make his appearance one of the evening’s biggest attractions.
