Uppsala Reggae Festival
Reggae · Fyrishov, Uppsala, Sweden
Reggae — Scandinavia
Uppsala Reggae Festival is Scandinavia's largest reggae festival: two days of roots, dancehall and dub by the Fyris river, at the Fyrishov complex in Uppsala. The name dates to 1995 — a first indoor edition — and the festival counts its 25 years from the first open-air edition of 2001; after an exile in Furuvik (2012–2016), it returned to Uppsala in 2017.
The 25th-anniversary edition, on July 31 and August 1, 2026, gathered Barrington Levy, Mr. Vegas, Tarrus Riley, Tiken Jah Fakoly, Third World and The Skatalites. The festival was founded by Yared Tekeste and Adiam Kubrom (Tekeste), with support from artists such as Papa Dee and Internal Dread.
The next edition is already announced: Friday, July 30 and Saturday, July 31, 2027 at Fyrishov, tickets on sale via Tickster — the official 2025 aftermovie, below, sets the tone.
