Reggae Rise Up Florida
Reggae-rock · Vinoy Park, St. Petersburg (St. Pete), Florida, United States
Reggae-rock — Florida
Reggae Rise Up Florida is the flagship edition of the Rise Up festivals, the American reggae-rock brand founded in 2015 in Denver by Vaughn Carrick (Live Nite Events) — with a sister edition in Utah. Its home: Vinoy Park, the waterfront green of St. Petersburg (St. Pete), on Tampa Bay, Florida — palm trees, sea breeze and two stages facing the bay.
The festival is the big spring gathering of American reggae-rock: its 2026 edition (March 12–15) brought together SOJA, Slightly Stoopid, Rebelution, Iration, Sublime, Dirty Heads, The Movement, Tribal Seeds, Fortunate Youth and Collie Buddz, across two stages with local crafts and food vendors. Its crowds keep growing — some 30,000 festivalgoers were already counted in 2023.
The next Florida edition is announced from Thursday, March 11 to Sunday, March 14, 2027, at Vinoy Park — and its official lineup poster is already out: Slightly Stoopid and Rebelution on Thursday, The Elovaters and SOJA on Friday, Stick Figure and The Movement on Saturday, Dirty Heads and Big Boi on Sunday, with Burning Spear and Collie Buddz also on the bill. Tickets are on sale through Tixr, the festival's official box office. The festival is held rain or shine — a detail worth knowing on the Florida coast in March.
