Rebel Salute USA Announces Miramar Debut with Roots-Focused Jamaican Lineup

Rebel Salute USA will stage a roots-and-culture showcase featuring Tony Rebel and Maxi Priest at Miramar Regional Park, promoted under the branding "The Preservation of Reggae" and presented as the festival's U.S. edition. Organizers list April 19, 2026 as the event date in the primary announcement and in multiple event listings.

The festival is slated to take place on the soccer field inside the 172-acre Miramar Regional Park at 16801 Miramar Parkway, with hours listed from 2:00 PM to 10:00 PM. Ticketing information published with the listings shows general admission priced at $50 and VIP at $75; tickets are available through the festival's official website. Some promotional pages and archived listings also show an alternate date of September 28, 2025, but the April 19, 2026 date appears in the original announcement and several current listings.

The lineup as presented across the announcements centers on Jamaican roots names: Tony Rebel, Maxi Priest, Mikey Spice, Mykal Rose, Louie Culture, Chalice, and Rebel Clan. Lineups published by different outlets also include Lust stylized variously as LUST or L.U.S.T, and one event listing names Queen Ifrica among the scheduled artists. One source specifically notes a dubplate showcase by Dynamq; separate festival materials describe the dubplate element as a clash between two selectors with the crowd determining the winner.

Programming beyond the stage is built around culture and family-friendly access. Organizers describe the event as "The Experience" with a Food Village and Art Village on site. The Food Village will feature a variety of healthy food vendors, including vegan and live food options, and the festival materials state that no meat except fish will be served and no alcohol will be served on site. A dedicated Herb Curb is listed as part of the grounds, with vendors and a symposium where professionals will discuss the benefits of cannabis. Miramar Commissioner Maxwell Chambers is reported as supporting the event, underscoring local municipal interest in the festival's arrival.

Promotional copy shared on social channels captures the event's tone: "The faith, the patience, the belief… it all leads to this. History in the making. Roots. Reggae. Resistance. ✨ Unity. One stage. One" Festival descriptions emphasize Rebel Salute USA's positioning as an extension of the brand's longstanding commitment to authentic reggae music and positive vibrations, bringing that legacy to South Florida audiences.

The event format as published positions live vocal sets alongside selector culture and community-focused activations, with a general schedule window of 2 PM to 10 PM. Published materials list ticket prices and family-friendly rules, and name the Miramar soccer field location and park address as the site for the Florida edition. Organizers and listings indicate Rebel Salute USA aims to showcase Jamaican roots artists and dubplate culture to Miramar crowds when the festival occurs in April 2026.
