Winky D to Headline Reggae Land 2026 in the UK
Zimbabwean dancehall superstar Winky D is set to make his international debut at the UK’s Reggae Land 2026 festival, performing on Friday, 31 July, ahead of the festival’s main weekend.
The Milton Keynes National Bowl event, taking place on 1–2 August 2026, is headlined by Jamaican dancehall icon Vybz Kartel and features global artists including Shaggy, Shenseea, Beenie Man, Tarrus Riley, Barrington Levy, Jah9, and Burna Boy.
Following record-breaking ticket sales for the two-day weekend, organizers have expanded the festival into a three-day event for the first time to meet overwhelming fan demand.
Winky D’s performance marks a significant milestone for both the artist and Reggae Land.
As one of the most influential figures in contemporary dancehall, his appearance is expected to set the tone for the festival’s newly added opening day, which promises high production values and a celebration of Caribbean music and culture.
With over 120 artists confirmed across seven stages, Reggae Land has rapidly grown into one of the UK’s most culturally significant festivals, blending roots reggae, dancehall, dub, jungle, and carnival energy.
Tickets for the opening day, Friday 31 July, go on sale at 9am on Friday, 20 February, via REGGAELAND.co.uk.
