After a record-breaking year, Reggae Land will return to Milton Keynes National Bowl on August 1 & 2, 2026 for its sixth and biggest edition yet.
The UK’s largest Reggae and Caribbean culture festival will again welcome 100,000 fans across the weekend and unite an unrivalled curation of world-class talent, island flavours and community spirit for two days of unforgettable music and culture.
Reggae Land is by far the biggest reggae festival in the UK and one of the largest in Europe, and 2026 will mark its most ambitious year yet.
The full artist line-up will be announced in January and promises to be the largest yet, expanding from 90 artists in 2025 to 120+ artists in 2026, all spread across seven stages with increased production, sound, facilities and immersive decor.
Two brand-new stages and the festival’s largest programme to date are promised. This year, Reggae Land introduces the Dancehall Stage, a brand-new open-air, dedicated dancehall arena with a 7,000 capacity, delivering a huge new space for high-energy performances and culture.
A new indoor stage, Bob’s Bar Stage, will pay tribute to the roots of reggae, giving roots reggae and lovers rock their own dedicated home.
The full 2026 programme will once again showcase the entire spectrum of Caribbean sound and culture from roots and rocksteady to dancehall, dub, jungle and beyond with world-renowned names appearing alongside rising stars and genre innovators.
Since its move to The National Bowl in 2023, Reggae Land has transformed the historic open-air venue into a Caribbean wonderland.
The Bowl’s natural amphitheatre provides unmatched acoustics and panoramic views, while its central location offers easy access for festival goers from across the UK and beyond. Beyond the music, the site comes alive with a Caribbean food village, rum bars and cocktail shacks, a reggae flea market, a reggae museum and a VIP zone creating a full sensory journey through Caribbean culture, rhythm and flavour.
“Every year we push ourselves to make Reggae Land bigger, better, and more vibrant for everyone who joins us,” said JBM Music, the festival’s organisers: “As the festival grows, we’re determined to give even more back to the amazing community that powers this event. By expanding the line-up and adding new stages, we’re bringing more music, more culture, and more energy than ever before.”
