A Tampa Bay visit from Fortunate Youth has evolved into an annual affair in recent years. The group isn’t on the Reggae Rise Up bill this year, but it was in 2021, as well as managing to sneak in a January 2020, pre-pandemic show at Jannus Live in St. Petersburg where Passaire returns to headline a show on Sunday, Nov. 13.

Strangely enough, the Hermosa Beach-based band was with Passafire in 2020, which will be the exact same case Sunday night, when both groups poke the crowd with 2021 material that may not have been as widely promoted before.
