2024 Lineup
Don't miss out on 2024's incredible lineup—a fusion of fresh talent, returning favorites and some heavyweights of the reggae world are gathering at Sugarloaf to amplify the good vibes at the biggest party on the east coast!
The torch has been relit on John Brown’s Body! Friday night will see the return of John Brown’s Body to the stage featuring a group of long time JBB players, including founding members Kevin Kinsella, Tommy Benedetti and Lee Hamiltion, the undisputed OG’s of the scene are fired up to launch their comeback in the King Pine room Friday night with SunDub in support. Saturday night we welcome Joe Samba back to Sugarloaf as he gets the party started in the King Pine room before Long Beach Dub All Stars take over. LBDA took the reggae-rock mantle from Sublime following their conclusion in 1996, the original ‘Dub Allstars’ lineup included most of the players who were involved in cultivating that reggae-rock sound with Brad Nowell.
Also on the bill for the evening shows in the Widowmaker will be Woody & The Rebel Alliance on Friday and Portland, Maine’s own Coyote Island on Saturday.
Lee Ross is primed to take charge as the emcee on the beach Saturday morning, kicking off the day with a solo set and will be keeping the Beach Party alive all day with Buddahfly, SunDub and Mighty Mystic. Green Lion Crew will hold court at Bullwinkles throughout Saturday and Sunday and be your host in the King Pine room for the evening shows on Friday and Saturday.
The excitement is tangible, and we're ecstatic about this year's diverse and lively lineup!
