Reggae Land reveals its biggest lineup ever

Reggae Land, the UK’s largest reggae and dancehall festival and one of the biggest globally, has announced its 2026 lineup, billing it as the biggest in the festival’s history. The two-day celebration returns to Milton Keynes Bowl on August 1–2, 2026, promising an unmissable weekend for reggae and dancehall fans.

Leading the charge is dancehall giant Vybz Kartel, who is set to make his Reggae Land debut on Sunday, August 2, in a performance expected to draw more than 50,000 patrons. The appearance follows Kartel’s historic World Boss Tour, which saw him become the first dancehall artiste to headline and sell out London’s O2 Arena, moving over 40,000 tickets. It also comes shortly after his standout appearance at Wireless Festival in July, where he performed on Drake’s third headline night in front of 50,000 fans.

The 2026 lineup runs deep, with dancehall heavyweights Beenie Man, who will perform under the banner The King and The Royals, alongside Morgan Heritage. Also confirmed are Shenseea (also performing on Sunday), Shaggy, Mr. Vegas, and Ding Dong. Reggae will be equally represented with performances from Tarrus Riley, Barrington Levy, Third World, Richie Spice and Jesse Royal, among many others.

The announcement builds on the momentum of Reggae Land 2025, which attracted over 60,000 attendees across the weekend. Last year’s edition featured standout performances from Mavado and Dexta Daps, alongside a highly anticipated UK return from Chronixx, plus appearances from Protoje and Lila Iké.

With its most ambitious lineup to date, Reggae Land 2026 is shaping up to be a landmark moment for reggae and dancehall on the global festival circuit.
