The 11th annual Welcome to Jamrock Reggae Cruise returns with a stacked lineup spanning Grammy-winning and Grammy-nominated talent across roots reggae, dancehall, reggae revival, and lovers rock—reinforcing its reputation as one of the most culturally authentic reggae gatherings at sea.

The lineup will be led by Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley and Stephen Marley, who are set to perform together in a special Traffic Jam set. The roster also includes reggae stars such as Protoje and Lila Iké, alongside legendary figures including Burning Spear, Sizzla, Capleton, Barrington Levy, Junior Reid, and Richie Spice.

The lineup bridges generations, from veterans like Professor Nuts, L.U.S.T., and Sister Carol to contemporary voices such as Sevana and Jemere Morgan.

On the dancehall side, the cruise delivers a dynamic mix of icons and rising acts, including Beenie Man, Elephant Man, Ding Dong alongside his Ravers Clavers crew, as well as Gyptian and 450, among others.

Organisers have emphasized a renewed sense of purpose following the impact of Hurricane Melissa, which affected Jamaica last year. “It’s like a family reunion; one place where we come together and we know we’re gonna see each other every year. We’re all here for one purpose at the end of the day, and that’s our shared love for reggae music,” said Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley.

Set for November, the cruise once again brings together reggae and dancehall royalty for a five-day cultural experience at sea. Reconnecting with its Jamaican roots, the event celebrates the island’s music and culture at the highest level while uniting a global community built on authenticity, connection, and shared experience.

This year’s staging will feature nearly 65 artists, DJs, and sound systems, alongside the highly anticipated return of the legendary Sound Clash Battles at Sea. The sound system lineup includes iconic names such as Stone Love, King Jammy Superpower, Silverhawk Dub, Rory Stone Love, Renaissance Sound, Federation Sound, Warrior Sound, and Rampage Sound, among others.

Co-founded and curated by Damian Marley and longtime manager Dan Dalton, Jamrock has evolved into one of the most significant reggae events globally, standing as the premier reggae experience at sea.
