Two-day reggae, dancehall and Caribbean culture festival held on the grass at the Milton Keynes National Bowl.
Reggae Land returns to the Milton Keynes National Bowl on Saturday 31 July and Sunday 1 August 2027. It's a reggae weekender produced and presented by JBM Music Group, who also run Electric Paradise the following weekend, so if you're into this, there's a good chance you'll want to clear your calendar for both.
The festival is built around reggae, dancehall and Caribbean culture, and it's open to all ages, though under-18s need to be accompanied by a legal guardian. This year's edition runs over two days, down from three in 2026, and it's staged on the north side of the National Bowl on Chaffron Way rather than the Watling Street frontage. If you've been before, that's a bit of a change in where you'll be arriving.
As for the site itself, it's open grass with no cover and no seats, so you'll want to come prepared for the weather. The festival runs its own colour-coded official car parks, sold by the day on grass and hard standing, with no overnight stays on a day ticket. There's no camping announced for 2027, so it's a day-trip affair rather than a weekend away.

Both days run on the same schedule: gates and music open at 12:00, last entry is 18:00, and things wrap up by 22:30. That's ten and a half hours of music each day, so if you're doing both, you'll be spending a fair bit of time on the grass.
