Reggae Rise Up Florida (Thursday)

St. Petersburg's biggest annual music festival is set to kick off on an exceptionally high note this year! That’s right, reggae-lovers, music lovers, and life lovers: Sting and Shaggy, Iration, Lettuce, Bombargo, and Ichroniq are set to kick off Reggae Rise Up on Thursday, 13 March 2025, at Vinoy Park!

It’s time for good vibes, good music, and an all-around good time!

Reggae Rise Up has been at it for a whopping ten years, and to celebrate, crowds will be treated to no less than three dozen acts set to share the love for reggae music over the course of four days, stacked to the brim with an impressive mix of big-time names and some of the industry’s hottest up-and-coming stars. From incredible headliners such as Sting and Shaggy to Slightly Stoopid, from Rebelution to Soja Dirty Heads, from Lettuce and Iration to The Movement, Matisyahu, and Atmosphere – it’s jam-packed with nothing but star power!

If you thought that Sting and Shaggy make for quite the unlikely pairing, just think of this: reggae has been a backbeat pulsing through many songs of The Police – from ‘So Lonely’ to ‘Walking on the Moon’, from ‘Englishman in New York’ to ‘One World is Enough’. “I hear reggae music; it carries me away,” Sting sings, “and the ghost of Bob Marley that haunts me to this day; there’s a spiritual truth in the words of his song, and the Caribbean nation to which they belong.” So, add Sting’s familiar, raspy voice and iconic legacy with Mr. Boombastic’s incredible charisma, and you have pure joy, a striking chemistry, and a performance that will blow the crowd away in all the best ways possible!

Iration is known to have absolutely no trouble getting the crowd in a groove with their distinct hybrid style of music blending all influences together, but especially with their natural affinity for reggae and island sounds. The Hawaiian band has been touring nationally since 2008, bringing audiences everywhere the real “aloha spirit." Their sunshine-reggae, chock-full of catchy lyrics and easy beats will leave you wanting more – more reggae, more good vibes.

Vinoy Park is everything: from beautiful outdoor features to incredible, world-renowned performances, from the hottest music festivals to annual Christmas displays. Tickets for Reggae Rise Up come in general admission and VIP options, ensuring something suitable to every taste and budget.

So, what are you waiting for? Gather your friends and family, get your tickets now, and start counting the days to the greatest vibes!
