Feeling a bit of a beach view while listening to some island sounds? Well, we're not a travel company so we can't provide flights, but we've got the next best thing right here for you. This year, The Margate Reggae Festival comes to Dreamland in Margate, and you are invited to be a part of the feel-good vibes. 

From 2pm - 11pm on Saturday 22nd June, The Margate Reggae Festival is ready to bring you every aspect that we know and love about reggae, especially with their banging lineup. With the likes of Steel Pulse, son of reggae legend Julian Marley and The Uprising, Aswad, The Skints, Desmond Dekker's Aces, Dawn Penn, and so many more, it's going to be an insanely impressive show that you're not going to want to miss. 

Going down in June, we’re wishing for clear skies and sunshine - the best way to enjoy those full basslines, soulful melodies, and percussive guitars. Alongside the tunes, which will be spread across three stages, there'll be a rum shack and Jamaican food to really sink into that summery vibe. 

Presale tickets for The Margate Reggae Festival go on sale next Thursday (29th February) at 10 am and general sale next Friday (1st March) at 10 am. So scroll down and sign up below for access to presale tickets, giving you the best chance of securing your place!
