An annual concert that draws hundreds of tourists to celebrate Bob Marley’s birthday has been canceled for the first time since its inception in 1992 over noise complaints.

Police denied promoter Clive Pringle an event permit because of several run-ins with police and residents in Negril, superintendent Dezeita Taylor said on Thursday. The Bob Marley Birthday Bash that Pringle organized every Feb. 6 regularly exceeded the 2 a.m. curfew established under the Noise Abatement Act, she said.

The show was launched in 1992 in Negril — a seaside town west of Kingston. Bob Marley birthday bashes are held worldwide, including London, Hawaii and Miami.
