Reggae Land Announces Two New Stages for 2026 Edition at Milton Keynes National Bowl
The Reggae Land festival, one of the UK’s largest celebrations of reggae and Caribbean culture, has confirmed the addition of two new stages for its 2026 event, taking place on August 1–2 at the iconic Milton Keynes National Bowl. The festival will return for its sixth edition with significantly expanded programming and site developments.
The 2026 event will introduce the Dancehall Stage, a new 7,000-capacity open-air arena dedicated entirely to dancehall music. They will also add the Bob’s Bar Stage, an indoor space focused on roots reggae and lovers rock.
Organizers have indicated that the full lineup is set to be released in January and will feature more than 120 artists (an increase from 90 performers in 2025) appearing across a total of seven stages. This expansion will be accompanied by upgrades in production, sound, and site design.
Since relocating to the National Bowl in 2023, Reggae Land has utilized the venue's amphitheater layout for its large-scale outdoor performances. In addition to the music program, the 2026 edition will again feature an extensive selection of Caribbean food vendors, rum bars, a reggae flea market, a museum installation, and a VIP area.
JBM Music, the festival partner, notes that the expansion aims to broaden the event’s cultural offering and enhance the overall visitor experience.
