Martinique’s Reggae Therapy Festival returns with Alborosie, Tarrus Riley
Alborosie, Tarrus Riley and Julian Marley will lead Martinique’s fourth Reggae Therapy Festival, set for July 11-12 at Fort-de-France’s Stade Louis-Achille.
Alborosie, Tarrus Riley and Julian Marley will anchor Martinique’s Reggae Therapy Festival as Fort-de-France leans into one of the Caribbean’s most travel-ready reggae weekends. The fourth edition is shaping up as more than a concert bill, with two nights at Stade Louis-Achille framed around music, food, vendors and the easygoing communal energy that has pushed the festival into the regional conversation.
The festival is set for July 11 and 12, 2026, and listings put both nights at 4 p.m. to 1 a.m. at Stade Louis-Achille in Fort-de-France. Saturday’s lineup includes Lieutenant, Skanky, Alborosie and Tarrus Riley, backed by DJ Kaprisson and Art N Spirit Sound System. Sunday keeps the pace with Loy Sonjah, Reemah, Papa Tank, Barrington Levy and Julian Marley, alongside DJ Gil, DJ Klyne and Art N Spirit Sound System.
That kind of programming is why Reggae Therapy has become a destination event rather than a local one-off. Two-day passes are listed in tiers from about €65 to €120, which puts the weekend in reach for traveling fans who want a full island stop, not just a show ticket. Event listings also point to an on-site area for food and drink vendors and other exhibitors, with one listing describing more than forty of them, turning the grounds into a proper reggae village around the stage.
The festival’s profile has risen fast enough to matter beyond Martinique. Coverage says Reggae Therapy won France’s Best Reggae Festival Award in 2024, a marker that confirmed what the Caribbean scene had already started to notice: this is a serious booking on the reggae calendar. The 2024 edition had already established the template, with a substantial program and a strong mix of performers, vendors and island-facing tourism appeal.
What gives the festival its edge is the way it folds culture into the trip itself. Martinique media coverage of the 2024 edition quoted Alpha Blondy saying reggae’s positive messages are needed by everyone, and that spirit still sits at the center of the event’s identity. With big names, late-night set times and a Fort-de-France setting built for a weekend away, Reggae Therapy is poised to draw fans who want the music, the island and the whole release that comes with both.
