Florida’s favorite reggae festival – and the largest touring festival in the country – has just announced their lineup for 2024! Entering its ninth year, Reggae Rise Up Florida will return to Vinoy Park in Downtown St. Petersburg, FL, over the March 14-17 weekend for another four sun-soaked days of music and fun! Produced by LNE Presents, Reggae Rise Up has become an undisputed staple of Florida’s festival calendar, hosting almost every imaginable name in reggae and seeing hundreds of thousands of fans through its gates since its inception in 2015.
The festival’s 2024 lineup continues the tradition of coalescing the brightest lights in reggae (and beyond) ensuring that their dedicated community of fans continue their annual pilgrimage from all over the world.
Kicking things off on Thursday are SoCal hip-hop reggae/rock crossover icons Dirty Heads alongside platinum-charting Chicago rapper/producer Lupe Fiasco. Supporting Thursday night’s headliners are Philly-based in-your-face melodic hip-hop duo Little Stranger and San Diego upbeat reggae/pop outfit Through The Roots. Friday night’s top-line acts – Rebelution and SOJA – along with Saturday night’s headline offering – Slightly Stoopid and Iration – continue to showcase RRU’s ability to consistently book the biggest touring acts in domestic reggae year after year, while Sunday’s headliners showcase the brands commitment to honoring the cultural roots of the genre – a highly-anticipated shared-stage performance from brothers Damian & Stephen Marley and living reggae legend Burning Spear who is considered one of the most influential and long-standing Jamaican roots artists of all time.
