Break out your woolen cap, because the lineup for what will surely be the busiest Reggae Rise Up since before COVID-19 was a thing has been announced.

Dirty Headsโ€”which played 97x Next Big Thing last December with Rome Ramirezโ€”Lupe Fiasco, Rebelution, Soja, Slightly Stoopid, Iration, Damian Jr. Gong & Stephen Marley, and Burning Spear are headlining the annual, four-day festival taking place at downtown St. Peteโ€™s Vinoy Park, from Thursday-Sunday, March 14-17.

Ballyhoo!, The Original Wailers, and The Expendables are also on the festival bill, with more names to be announced in the coming months.

Tickets to the ninth Reggae Rise Up are now on sale, and start at $45 for single-day passes. Multi-day passes and VIP packages are also available.

Innings Festivalโ€”which took place the exact same weekend at Tampaโ€™s Raymond James Stadiumโ€”is dead, so donโ€™t be taken aback if you find yourself in situations where you physically canโ€™t move through the crowds that once spent St. Paddyโ€™s Day weekend on the other side of Tampa Bay.
