Burna Boy to Headline Reggae Land Festival 2026

Grammy-winning Nigerian superstar Burna Boy is set to make his debut at one of the UK’s biggest reggae and dancehall festivals as the headliner for the opening night of Reggae Land 2026.

The weekend continues with heavyweights such as Vybz Kartel, Shenseea, Shaggy, Beenie Man, Morgan Heritage, and others, promising an unforgettable mix of genres and high energy.

Known for global hits like “Ye,” “Last Last,” and “On the Low,” Burna Boy has built a reputation for explosive live shows that blend high-energy Afrobeats with conscious lyrics and genre-blending innovation. His appearance at Reggae Land highlights the growing connection between Afrobeats and reggae/dancehall scenes, uniting fans from diverse backgrounds for a massive cultural event.
