Reggae fans across the United States are in for a major summer experience as Buju Banton prepares to hit the road for his highly anticipated Roots and Rhymes Summer Tour alongside reggae powerhouse Stephen Marley. The 23-date cross-country trek will also feature special guest Gramps Morgan, with Splacka appearing on select dates.
The six-week tour kicks off June 17, 2026, at Marymoor Park in Redmond and will travel across both coasts and several major cities, bringing authentic reggae energy to outdoor amphitheaters and arenas nationwide. The tour wraps up July 25 in Atlanta.
One of the standout stops comes July 18 when Banton returns to UBS Arena — exactly two years after his historic performance at the venue, widely regarded as a landmark moment for reggae in the United States.
The Roots and Rhymes tour will also make stops in key states, including California, Colorado, Texas, Alabama, Mississippi, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Ohio, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, Virginia, New Jersey, North Carolina, and Georgia.
General public ticket sales begin Friday, April 17, at 10 a.m. local time, while pre-sale tickets and VIP packages are already available using the passcode ROOTS.
