Reggae Rise Up Florida Returns to Vinoy Park in March 2026

Reggae Rise Up Florida closed out its four-day run at Vinoy Park in downtown St. Petersburg on Sunday, bringing together more than 50 artists across a lineup that stretched from classic reggae-rock to hip-hop and dancehall on the scenic waterfront beside the St. Pete Pier.

The festival opened Thursday, March 12, with Slightly Stoopid setting the tone alongside hip-hop legends Cypress Hill, who made their first-ever appearance at the Florida edition of the festival. Pepper, Roots of Creation, and The Rhythm-Inya rounded out the opening night card.

Friday belonged to Iration and SOJA headlining back-to-back, with St. Petersburg's own The Hip Abduction drawing hometown energy from the crowd. Skip Marley, Satsang, Yelawolf, and Rik Jam were among the deeper Friday roster, with additional sets from Shwayze, Sensamotion, Dan Kelly, Dylan Cotrone, Ichroniq, and The Quasi Kings filling out the day.

Saturday put Rebelution at the top of the bill, with De La Soul, Protoje, Tribal Seeds, The Expendables, Ballyhoo!, and Kash'd Out among the acts spread across the afternoon and evening. The undercard also included Passafire, Wheeland Brothers, Irie Souljah, TreeHouse!, The Hulagans, Veni Sun, and others.

Sublime closed the festival Sunday, joined by 311, Steel Pulse, Common Kings, G. Love & Special Sauce, and Little Stranger. Nattali Rize, Makua Rothman, Ethan Tucker, Eli-Mac, Beach Fly, and Jarv completed the final-day lineup at 701 Bayshore Drive Northeast.

The 2026 Florida edition returned following what organizers described as a year of record-breaking ticket sales, with Vinoy Park's waterfront setting offering walkable access to downtown St. Petersburg's restaurants, hotels, and cultural district just across the bay from Tampa.

The spring season continues when Reggae Rise Up Arizona takes over Tempe Beach Park from April 17–19, 2026, rounding out what organizers have called one of the most ambitious lineups in the festival brand's history.
