Reggae Land festival unveils intial line-up for 5th anniversary celebration
The line-up for Reggae Land – the UK’s biggest reggae festival – has been revealed ahead of its fifth anniversary.
This year’s event will take place this August at the National Bowl in Milton Keynes, showcasing the best of Caribbean and Black music across 100 artists and five stages.
The festival will welcome some of the genre’s biggest stars including Chronixx, Capleton, Protoje, Kabaka Pyramid, Steel Pulse, and Gyptian, who return following their standout performances at last year’s event. The line-up also features rising global stars such as YG Marley, Morgan Heritage, Etana, Spragga Benz and many more.
In addition to the star-studded musical line-up, there will be a food village with over 50 vendors, a reggae flea market, a reggae museum and festival merchandise stalls.
Promoters JBM Music shared a statement, excited for the festival’s fifth edition: “Reggae Land has grown into something truly special over the past five years, and we couldn’t be prouder of what it’s become. Starting as a dream to celebrate reggae music and Caribbean culture, it has now become the UK’s biggest reggae festival, attracting tens of thousands of people from all over the world.
“The incredible growth we’ve seen reflects the passion and love for reggae, as well as the unique atmosphere we’ve created – one that brings together iconic artists, amazing food, vibrant cultural experiences, and a sense of community you won’t find anywhere else. Year five is set to be our best yet!”
