Sri Lanka : South Asia’s First Ever Reggae MUSIC FESTIVAL Set to Ignite Bentota

As it gets ready to hold One Love 2026 A Tribute to Bob Marley, South Asia’s first-ever Reggae Music Festival, from March 27 to 29, 2026, on the beautiful coasts of Bentota, Sri Lanka is set to create cultural history. Sri Lanka will be firmly positioned on the international music and cultural tourism map thanks to the three-day beachside event, which promises to bring the energy, soul, and global history of reggae music to the region on an unparalleled scale.

This landmark festival will feature six internationally acclaimed reggae icons—the largest gathering of global reggae talent ever seen in Asia and the Pacific:

• Maxi Priest – the “Prince of Reggae”
• The Wailers
• Julian Marley & Ky-Mani Marley – sons of the legendary Bob Marley
• Inner Circle
• Big Mountain
• The festival will also feature four international DJs, with two major artists headlining each night:
• 27 March: The Wailers & Maxi Priest
• 28 March: Inner Circle & Big Mountain
• 29 March: Julian Marley & Ky-Mani Marley

Adding to the excitement, Kingsley Ben-Adir, the lead actor in the 2024 musical drama One Love, and its director Reinaldo Marcus Green, are also set to attend the festival.
