Grab your day passes and your foldable chair - ‘cause trust us, this is the year you’ll want to be front and center when it all goes down right here. 

Reggae Rise Up Florida got its start nearly a decade ago after its first attempt in Tampa back in 2014 — rained out but not defeated — before relocating to St. Petersburg in 2015 and becoming the powerhouse event it is today. And that move changed everything. What began as a humble one-day gathering evolved into a four-day destination festival that now attracts 15,000–20,000 people per day, pulls in millions for the local community, and is widely regarded as the biggest and most important reggae-rock festival in the United States. Built on a mission to bring reggae, roots, rock, dancehall, and conscious music to the forefront — and to create a home for fans who live for sunshine, connection, and island energy — the festival has grown into a full lifestyle experience. We’re talking multiple stages, art installations, local vendors, beach breezes, and a community that shows up every single year like it’s a family reunion. Past lineups have been STACKED too — with alumni like Rebelution, Slightly Stoopid, SOJA, Dirty Heads, Damian Marley, Collie Buddz, Tribal Seeds, and even a mega-moment headliner combo from Sting & Shaggy. When you come to Rise Up, you’re stepping into reggae history.
