Reggae Land Festival prepares to hold its biggest ever edition at National Bowl in Milton Keynes

With just one week to go, Reggae Land returns to Milton Keynes National Bowl for its sixth and biggest edition to date and, for the first time in its history, across three full days.

More than 120 artists will perform across seven stages, including two brand new additions for 2026, as the festival once again transforms the National Bowl into a Caribbean cultural hub complete with food villages, rum bars, flea markets and immersive decor.

The newly added Friday is headlined by global superstar Burna Boy, playing Reggae Land for the first time. The award-winning Nigerian singer and songwriter, known for blending Afrofusion, dancehall and hip-hop into hits including ‘Last Last’ and ‘City Boys’, opens the festival alongside Masicka, Christopher Martin and Julian Marley & The Uprising.

Saturday’s Main Stage brings the exclusive world debut of The King & The Royals – a historic pairing of dancehall king Beenie Man and reggae royalty Morgan Heritage – alongside debut Reggae Land performances from Tarrus Riley, Barrington Levy, Jah9, Konshens and Kranium.

Sunday closes out the festival with the long-awaited Reggae Land debut of Vybz Kartel, one of dancehall’s most influential and prolific voices, joined by fellow debutant Shenseea, the returning Shaggy – back for the first time since headlining the very first Reggae Land in 2022 – plus Inner Circle and Mo’Kalamity & The Wizards.

Elsewhere across the site, the One Love, Dancehall, Carnival and Dub stages, Rompa’s Reggae Shack and Bob’s Bar continue the festival’s tradition of pairing legendary names with emerging artists and scene-defining selectors, spanning roots, reggae, dancehall, dub, jungle and carnival sound.

With all three days now sold out, Reggae Land is on track for its biggest ever celebration, cementing its place as one of the UK’s fastest-growing and most culturally significant festivals.

On Friday 31st July 2026, the doors open at 16:00, last entry is at 20:00 and the event ends at 23:00.

Meanwhile, on Saturday 1st & Sunday 2nd August 2026, gates open and music starts at 12pm. Last entry is at 18:00 while the event Ends: 22:30.
