The countdown is over as Reggae Sumfest 2026 culminates this weekend with what is expected to be one of the most talked-about stagings in the festival’s history.

This year’s event takes place on Saturday, July 18, 2026, at Plantation Cove, St. Ann, marking a special one-night presentation branded “A Taste of Reggae Sumfest: Gaza & Gully.” The temporary move from the festival’s longtime home at Catherine Hall in Montego Bay was made for the 2026 staging, creating a unique chapter in the history of the iconic festival.

The biggest attraction of the night will undoubtedly be the highly anticipated reunion of dancehall heavyweights Vybz Kartel and Mavado, who are set to share the Reggae Sumfest stage in what promises to be a historic moment for Jamaican music. The event celebrates the legacy of the legendary Gaza and Gully movements that helped shape an era of dancehall.

Known as “The Greatest Reggae Show on Earth,” Reggae Sumfest has, for more than three decades, attracted thousands of patrons from across Jamaica and around the globe. Beyond the music, the festival continues to showcase Jamaica’s rich culture, tourism, and world-renowned entertainment industry, making it one of the Caribbean’s premier live music events.

With fans travelling from near and far, anticipation is at an all-time high for an unforgettable night of performances, surprises, and celebration. As the curtains prepare to rise at Plantation Cove, all eyes will be on Jamaica for another milestone moment in reggae and dancehall history.
