Reggae fans, here’s your calling. Reggae Rumble is Thailand’s biggest reggae event, headlining this year with the legendary Julian Marley & The Uprising.
The son of Bob Marley himself has linked up with Thailand’s freshest reggae party folks for what’s shaping up to be a milestone gig starting in Koh Phangan on May 15, then touring Phuket on May 21 and ending hard at UOB Live in Bangkok on May 22.
Julian Marley and Alexx Antaeus just scored a Grammy nomination for Best Remixed Recording with their amapiano take on ‘Jah Sees Them’. When he talks about dabbling in different genres, he makes it sound completely natural, like it's just part of the journey.
And his father's influence? Still there, always present, guiding everything he does.
And it's not just Julian Marley taking the spotlight. Thai reggae legends are joining the show too. JOB2DO are bringing the best of old-school Thai reggae to the set along with Mailman Downtown in Phuket and Jimmie Tae and the Rasta Band in Koh Phangan. And then there's INJA, who will be introducing the night with a light and fiery set of his own.
Jamaican reggae heritage meets Thailand's homegrown talent, all on one stage. If you plan to go, here’s what you need to know before the night starts.
