The continued growth of reggae rock is a major story in its own and reggae rock legends Pepper delivered Daily Reggae’s “Regge Rock Album of the Year” with the release of “Operation Irie”. 

The amount of talent and energy in reggae rock right now is phenomenal. It felt like every week of 2025 new reggae rock tunes dropped that had us vibing along. These are the five reggae rock albums that we think absolutely shred! Here are the nominees for the Daily Reggae “Reggae Rock Album of the Year”. 

Vana Liya is hitting the road this fall with a string of new headlining dates and some big support slots alongside reggae legends. Fresh off festival season, she’s bringing her soulful voice and uplifting energy through California and the Pacific Northwest.

Pepper and LAW Records have officially launched Operation Irie, a genre-blending compilation that reimagines punk classics through the lens of today’s reggae rock scene.

Wassman teamed with Irie Yute Tapes’ Phillip McFarlane on the track’s production and the song really pops! Wassman lays down some amazing vocals over the feel good riddim and grooving bass line. 

Mission Bayfest's 2025 lineup is a dream for reggae fans! This year’s festival in San Diego’s Mission Bay is set for October 17 - 19 and features fan favorites like Slightly Stoopid, Sublime, Rebelution, Dirty Heads, Pepper, and Steel Pulse.

Reggae rock giants Rebelution have set “Good Vibes Cali Tour 2025” dates. The amazing reggae band puts on one of the best shows in music today and are performing throughout California in October.

Plan your next date night to see Pepper’s “Small Kine” Tour. The reggae rock stars are hitting cities all along the East Coast this March and they always bring amazing energy!

Rock out to DENM’s newest anthem “Where I’m Going” featuring Pepper. DENM channels his CALI roots mixing pop-punk and reggae in this song about always moving forward. Kaleo Wassman of Pepper perfectly fits on this track, in a collab we would love to see more of.

Slightly Stoopid, Stick Figure & Pepper come together to drop the official music for “Got Me On The Run” The track, originally released last November by Stoopid Records, has already racked up over 5 millions streams. Its no surprise that a collab with such megastars would be a hit, and you can now watch the fellas rock out with the official video!

Plan a trip to San Diego for an amazing reggae experience at Mission Bayfest 2024. The three day festival runs Sept. 27 - 29 and features an unreal lineup for reggae fans including fan favorites like Stick Figure, Tribal Seeds, Iration, and Pepper.

Time to get excited for Virginia Beach’s inaugural Point Break Music Festival! The festival kicks off Saturday and runs through Sunday with countless reggae fan favorites performing like Rebelution, Sublime, Stephen Marley, Pepper, and so many more!

Iration is teaming with Pepper in the nationwide “Daytrippin In Paradise” Summer Tour 2024, and we cannot wait! The reggae rockers are also bringing along DENM and Artikal Sound System for the fun, and these shows will brighten your summer without a doubt!

The three-piece band of Kona Town reggae-rockers known as Pepper has recently delivered a healthy new EP, Makai, via LAW Records for our listening pleasure (and a pleasure it is).

Congratulations to Stick Figure’s “Wisdom Tour” for being named the 2023 Daily Reggae Tour of the Year! The reggae rockers followed up their epic 2022 “Wisdom” album with an incredible national run with Pepper and The Elovaters and proved once again they are one of the most talented bands in the world!

As we’ve been discussing, reggae is making major waves around the globe and reggae music is inspiring people in a major way while pollinating across genres. Here is our list of the top producers bringing beautiful reggae music to life in 2023!

2023 was a massive year for live music and let’s be honest, it’s hard to beat a reggae concert! Reggae artists and bands toured the world playing to both sold out venues and new growing fan bases. Here are five national reggae tours that stood out to us in 2023.

Slightly Stoopid is back and they brought their friends Stick Figure and Pepper! The legends came together for the new song ‘Got Me On The Run’. The track immediately draws you in with a classic Stoopid horn line and riddim, and the catchy flow is made that much better by the appearances by Stick and Pepper.

Jam out to our Song of the Week, ‘Stay High"‘ by Pepper. This track has such a soulful sound, and blends old school and new school reggae! Totally hear this one around the camp fire on acoustic! It was Produced by Johnny Cosmic of Stick Figure. Stream now!

Book a trip to the Sierra Nevada Foothills for an epic weekend of reggae at the Dry Diggings Festival. This year’s festival, which runs August 25-27, has an amazing lineup including headliners Ky-Mani Marley, Dirty Heads, and Slightly Stoopid.
