Reggae Land unveils massive line-up for 2026

Reggae Land has revealed their full line-up for its sixth and biggest edition to date when it returns to Milton Keynes National Bowl on August 1 and 2. With more than 120 artistes scheduled to perform across seven stages, the announcement proves that this will be the celebrated festival’s most ambitious year yet, with one of the biggest ever reggae and dancehall festival line-ups ever assembled anywhere in the world.

Since moving to Milton Keynes’ National Bowl, Reggae Land has transformed the iconic venue into a Caribbean cultural hub that carefully combines world-class performances with Caribbean food villages, rum bars, flea markets, museum spaces and immersive décor. In 2026, the festival expands further with the addition of two new stages and even higher levels of production.

Across the much anticipated August weekend, Reggae Land will once again celebrate a full spectrum from roots and reggae royalty to dancehall, dub, jungle and carnival energy, all while bringing together legendary names, global stars, emerging artists and scene-defining selectors.

Saturday’s Main Stage is led by the return of two reggae and dancehall legends, bringing their exclusive world début of landmark supergroup The King & The Royals. This unites the King of Dancehall himself, Beenie Man, alongside reggae royalty, Morgan Heritage, both returning to Reggae Land having performed separately in 2023 and 2025. The King & The Royals serve up a unifying live experience that brings together their two Grammy-winning legacies for one powerful, deeply authentic celebration. They will be joined by Tarrus Riley, Barrington Levy and Jah9, as well as Konshens and Kranium.

On Sunday, the Main Stage welcomes one of the most sought after dancehall artistes on the planet, making his Reggae Land début – Vybz Kartel. One of dancehall’s most influential and prolific artistes, he has redefined the genre with his razor sharp lyricism, endless creativity and unmatched cultural impact, with a catalogue that spans street anthems, club classics and melodic crossovers.

Alongside him is another début Reggae Land performance from the Grammy nominated Shenseea, as well as the return of one of Jamaica’s most commercially successful exports, Shaggy, who headlined the first Reggae Land in 2022. Super Cat, Inner Circle and Mo’Kalamity & The Wizards make up the rest of Sunday’s main stage line-up.

The One Love Stage continues to honour roots, culture and conscious sounds. Saturday’s lineup includes Richie Spice, Ken Boothe, Jesse Royal, Samory I, League of Rebelz and Ras Kwame, while Sunday sees performances from Sanchez, Mr Vegas, Alborosie, Third World and Hollie Cook.
