Sun Splash Reggae Festival
Reggae, dancehall & world music · Zuiderpark, The Hague, Netherlands
Reggae — dancehall — world music
Sun Splash Reggae Festival is the Netherlands' big reggae gathering: a full day of reggae, dancehall and world music in Zuiderpark, the great park in the south of The Hague. Mind the namesakes: it is neither Jamaica's legendary Reggae Sunsplash nor Spain's Rototom Sunsplash — it is a Dutch festival in its own right, young and already unmissable.
Settled at Zuiderpark since 2024, the festival runs three stages — Reggae Stage, Dancehall Stage and World Music Stage — with more than twenty artists, from 1 p.m. to 11 p.m. The Sunday, July 13, 2025 edition featured Shenseea, Beenie Man, Capleton, Morgan Heritage, Alpha Blondy, Inner Circle and The Congos; the Sunday, July 5, 2026 edition welcomed Popcaan, Steel Pulse, Richie Spice, Luciano, Lila Iké, Christopher Martin, Glen Washington and Patoranking.
The festival is family-friendly and open to all ages: children under 3 enter free, ages 3 to 11 pay a reduced fare and ages 12 to 17 get half price (rules published on the official website). Behind the event stands an organization claiming more than twenty years of experience in reggae, dancehall and Caribbean concerts in the Netherlands.
The 2027 edition is already announced on the official website, with no firm date yet — "more info soon". Festival TV will update this page as soon as the official dates and first names are out.
