The last time Raging Fyah performed in Jamaica was back in 2017 at the Wickie Wackie Music Festival. That same year, they earned a Grammy nomination for their third album, Everlasting.

Lead singer Kumar Bent, also known as The Original Fyah, expressed his excitement, saying, “This is a homecoming for the band and I. Wickie Wackie Beach is our turf, and this festival is a testament to our love for Jamaica and our music. Planning this special return fills us with joy.”

Wickie Wackie Music Festival keeping Roots Reggae alive

Wickie Wackie Music Festival has been a cornerstone of the reggae scene since its launch in 2009. It stands out as one of the premier Roots Reggae Live Music & Sound System Destination Festivals, dedicated to showcasing emerging talents in the Reggae Revival movement.

Over the years, it’s hosted iconic names like Protoje, Jah9, Chronixx, Kabaka Pyramid, and Koffee, often before they hit the big time. And this year’s lineup promises to keep the tradition alive with an impressive array of artists.

Who will perform this year?

Set against the backdrop of the stunning Wickie Wackie Beach in Bull Bay, the festival promises not just the long-awaited Raging Fyah reunion but also guest performances by Third World’s Cat Coore, Romain Virgo, Jah Mason, D’yani, and Sound Systems 8 Mile Sound, Kingston Dub Club, and Sound Quake.
