St. Pete’s biggest annual music festival is getting closer, and the 2026 edition is shaping up to be one of the most star-studded yet. Reggae Rise Up, which takes place March 12–15 in Vinoy Park, has released its lineup of headliners and supporting acts set to perform at the beloved four-day festival.
Among the top names announced are Slightly Stoopid, Cypress Hill, Sublime, Iration, SOJA, and Rebelution, along with plenty more. Tickets for Reggae Rise Up 2026 are available here, and while there are still a few months to go, it’s wise to grab yours early if you’re eyeing VIP or upgraded ticket packages, which tend to sell out well in advance.
Reggae Rise Up is not only one of the region’s most popular annual events, but also one of its most impactful. Held during peak spring break season, the festival draws tens of thousands of locals and visitors to St. Pete, filling hotels and restaurants throughout the city. A commissioned study of the 2022 festival found an economic impact of more than $22 million, and this year’s event, following 2025’s record-breaking attendance, is expected to be even bigger.
