Reggae Rise Up Florida announces complete lineup for 2026 

After a year of record-breaking ticket sales, Reggae Rise Up Florida returns to Vinoy Park in Downtown St. Petersburg on March 12 – 15, 2026. The state’s most beloved reggae celebration and the nation’s largest touring reggae festival once again brings an electrifying roster of top talent to the Gulf Coast.

This year’s lineup delivers the dynamic mix fans have come to expect and mixes up iconic headliners with rising voices that reflect the festival’s remarkable decade of growth, including legendary flower power hip-hop pioneers and musical force for good De La Soul, and 311, US rockers known for blending alternative rock, reggae, funk, and rap and delivering laid-back grooves with high-energy riffs and positive vibes. 

The festival opens Thursday with Slightly Stoopid, widely recognised as torchbearers of the California reggae-rock movement while continuing to shape a sound uniquely their own. Joining them for this high-energy launch are hip-hop legends Cypress Hill, making their first-ever appearance at the Florida edition, along with fan favourites Pepper, plus special guests Roots of Creation and The Rhythm-Inya.

Friday’s celebration features headlining sets from festival regulars Iration and SOJA, joined by hometown heroes The Hip Abduction. The day’s wide-ranging lineup also includes Yelawolf, Skip Marley, Satsang, Rik Jam and more who all showcase reggae’s diverse and ever-expanding sound.

Saturday spotlights powerhouse headliner Rebelution, promising an electrifying evening of live performance. Fans can also look forward to sets from Protoje, The Expendables, Tribal Seeds, Ballyhoo!, Kash’d Out and additional artists who will keep the energy high throughout the day.

The weekend culminates on Sunday with a landmark performance by Sublime, one of the scene’s most influential bands known for pioneering the fusion of punk, ska and reggae. They’ll be joined by the legendary Steel Pulse, Little Stranger, Common Kings, G. Love & Special Sauce, and more to deliver a perfect finale to four days of unforgettable community and musical connection.

Located just across the bay from Tampa, Vinoy Park sits beside the iconic St. Pete Pier in the heart of Downtown St. Petersburg. This waterfront gem pairs a laid-back coastal atmosphere with the vibrant energy of the surrounding arts and entertainment district. Attendees can enjoy an array of culinary options, a variety of accommodations from luxury to budget-friendly, and countless off-site activities to create the perfect setting for a weekend-long spring music festival in Florida.

Since its inception in 2015, Reggae Rise Up Florida has grown from a cornerstone of the state’s live music landscape into a nationally recognised festival brand. Over the past decade, it has created unforgettable experiences for fans while contributing significantly to the expansion and visibility of the reggae-inspired music scene across the United States.
