In 2022, U.K.-based roots reggae group Steel Pulse graced St. Petersburg twice in one weekend: once at Jannus Liveโ€”where itโ€™ll open for Boston funk band Lettuce on Fridayโ€”and again at Reggae Rise Up, alongside Soja and Rebelution.

Its latest album Mass Manipulation was nominated for Best Reggae Album at the 2020 Grammy Awards, but lost out to Koffeeโ€™s “Rapture.”

Still, expect to hear a handful of tracks from the 2019 record, as well as more from across Steel Pulseโ€™s 45-year-long career. Makua Rothmanโ€”an actual surfer who sings about the beach (like the Beach Boys drummer Dennis Wilson before him)โ€”opens the show.

Tickets to see Lettuce, Steel Pulse and Makua Rothman play Jannus Live in St. Petersburg on Friday, June 16 are still available for $44.50.
