Reggae Land Announces Two New Stages for 2026 Edition at Milton Keynes National Bowl

Reggae Land has confirmed the addition of two new stages for its 2026 event, taking place on 1–2 August at the Milton Keynes National Bowl. The festival, which has grown into one of the UK’s largest celebrations of reggae and Caribbean culture, will return for its sixth edition with expanded programming and site developments.

The 2026 event will introduce the Dancehall Stage, a new 7,000-capacity open-air arena dedicated to dancehall, as well as Bob’s Bar Stage, an indoor space focused on roots reggae and lovers rock.

Organisers say the full lineup is set to be released in January and will feature more than 120 artists, an increase from 90 performers in 2025. Acts will appear across seven stages, accompanied by upgraded production, sound and site design.

Since relocating to the National Bowl in 2023, Reggae Land has utilised the venue’s amphitheatre layout for large-scale outdoor performances. In addition to the music programme, the 2026 edition will again feature Caribbean food vendors, rum bars, a reggae flea market, a museum installation and a VIP area.

Festival partners JBM Music said the expansion aims to broaden the event’s cultural offering and overall visitor experience.
