Reggae Rise Up Oregon Returns to Redmond June 12 to 14

Reggae Rise Up Oregon is back for its sophomore run, bringing three days of reggae, roots, hip-hop and crossover sounds to the Deschutes County Fair and Expo Center in Redmond from June 12 to 14, 2026. Tickets are already on sale, and organizers expect a packed weekend of live music framed by Central Oregon’s high desert scenery.

Friday’s kickoff features Rebelution alongside SOJA and Burning Spear, with J Boog, Mike Love, Skip Marley, Through the Roots and supporting acts completing the opening bill. Saturday stacks big-name reggae and crossover acts, with Dirty Heads and multi-platinum group 311 anchored on the mid-day card and Common Kings, The Movement and Tropidelic/Tropadelic listed among the supporting artists. Sunday closes with Tash Sultana co-headlining the day with Iration, joined by Lettuce, Tribal Seeds, Shwayze and HIRIE among others.

The lineup pulls together established roots talent and newer voices in a way that organizers framed as reflecting reggae’s evolving reach. World A Reggae Entertainment summed that mix by noting, “Artists like Burning Spear, SOJA, Rebelution, Dirty Heads, Iration and Tash Sultana lead the bill, alongside a diverse selection including Lila Iké, J Boog, Tribal Seeds, The Movement, Mike Love, HIRIE, and many more. It’s a mix that mirrors how reggae keeps evolving while still staying connected to its roots.” The festival’s social feed earlier teased the announcement, saying, “Our first annual Reggae Rise Up Oregon was truly one for the books! All thanks to YOU - your vibes, your” as the event builds momentum for year two.

Practical planning details matter for fans traveling to Redmond. The fairgrounds sit at 3800 SW Airport Way, Redmond, OR 97756, offering on-site camping, local food vendors and outdoor activities that place the music within a broader cultural and natural setting. With three days of music and campsites on offer, plan for multi-day logistics: camping passes, vehicle access and festival parking will influence arrival times and set-time flexibility.

Ticket demand is already moving; MusicMxdwn noted, “Tickets are already on sale,” and fans should expect popular tiers to sell quickly. The announcement also highlights photo coverage and community memory from last year, with a credited image by Jenna Houchin capturing the festival vibe.

For Oregon reggae fans and visiting road trippers alike, Reggae Rise Up Oregon is a chance to mix live music with camping and Central Oregon scenery while catching both legacy acts like Burning Spear and contemporary draws like Tash Sultana and 311. Secure tickets early, lock in camping if you want to stay on site, and watch for set times as the festival releases a full schedule closer to June.
