Reggae Land has unveiled what organisers are calling one of the largest reggae and dancehall lineups the United Kingdom has seen in a generation, with more than 120 artists set to perform across seven stages at the Milton Keynes National Bowl on August 1 and 2.
The 2026 staging will be headlined by Vybz Kartel, Shenseea and Shaggy, alongside the exclusive world debut of The King & The Royals—a supergroup uniting dancehall icon Beenie Man with Grammy-winning reggae group Morgan Heritage. The announcement marks Kartel’s first appearance at the festival and Shenseea’s Reggae Land debut.
Other major acts include Tarrus Riley, Barrington Levy, Konshens, Mr Vegas, Super Cat, Inner Circle, Third World and Jah9, with performers spanning roots reggae, dancehall, dub, jungle and carnival-inspired sounds.
Organisers say the festival, now in its sixth year, will be its biggest yet, featuring two new stages, expanded production and an expected attendance of up to 100,000 people over the weekend. Since relocating to the National Bowl, Reggae Land has grown into a large-scale celebration of Caribbean culture, incorporating food villages, rum bars, markets, museum-style spaces and immersive décor alongside live performances.
Saturday’s Main Stage will be led by the debut performance of The King & The Royals, supported by appearances from Tarrus Riley, Barrington Levy, Konshens and Kranium. On Sunday, Kartel will headline the Main Stage, joined by Shenseea, Shaggy and Super Cat.
Additional stages will spotlight roots and conscious reggae, sound system culture, high-energy dancehall, carnival crossover sounds and dub music, with performances from artists such as Sanchez, Alborosie, Richie Spice, T.O.K, Stylo G, Ding Dong, Mad Professor, Aba Shanti I and David Rodigan.
Tickets for Reggae Land 2026 go on sale on January 30, with prices starting at £74.50 plus booking fees.
