Are you a big reggae fan? Pack your bags for Mexico and enjoy Closer to the Sun! This year marks the 10th edition of the epic reggae concert experience, and it’s set for December 11 - 15.

The “Slightly Dirty Summer Tour” 2024 brings together reggae rock giants Slightly Stoopid and Dirty Heads. This tour is going to rock, and kicks off on July 11 for a 23 stop nationwide journey! Both bands are at the top of their games and beautifully blend reggae, rock and hip hop influence.

We’re back for a jam packed day 2 of Cali Vibes 2024! Jeremy Morgan (Highly Decent Photography) captured some amazing shots of Gwen Stefani, Slightly Stoopid, Wiz Khalifa, KBong and Johnny Cosmic, Little Stranger, Claire Wright, and The Pharcyde. Check it out now!

Just a friendly reminder we are officially two weeks away from one of the biggest reggae festivals in the world. Cali Vibes, presented by Goldenvoice, has an unreal lineup featuring Stick Figure, Slightly Stoopid, Rebelution, Damian and Stephen Marley, Wiz Khalifa, Iration, The Roots and so many more.

Start 2024 with Roots of Creation and the band’s “Grateful Roots” Winter Tour. The New England reggae rockers are kicking off this East Coast run in January and are touring all the way down to Florida through early March.

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.

The legendary Gwen Stefani is headlining Cali Vibes 2024, and the three day festival’s lineup looks amazing! So many reggae fan favorites including Stick Figure, Slightly Stoopid, Rebelution, and Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley along with Stephen Marley are set to perform.

The Summertime 2023 Tour with Slightly Stoopid and Sublime with Rome was absolutely epic. Check out Daily Reggae’s full coverage of their Dallas, Texas stop by Highly Decent Photography. Full reviews and galleries for Sublime with Rome, Slightly Stoopid, The Movement, and Atmosphere.

The Summertime 2023 Tour featuring The Movement, Atmosphere, Slightly Stoopid and Sublime with Rome strolled through Texas for a few stops, making its final Lone Star State appearance in Dallas at the Toyota Music Factory on July 23, 2023. Jeremey Morgan, of Highly Decent Photography, is back with part 4 and the final recap of the event. Make sure to catch the reviews and galleries for all the artists from that night!

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.

This is the first blog in our recap series of the Summer 2023 Tour featuring Slightly Stoopid, Sublime with Rome, Atmosphere, and The Movement’s. Notes and photos by Jeremy Morgan, of Highly Decent Photography and Daily Reggae contributor.

Slightly Stoopid’s “Summertime 2023” Tour was one of my all time favorite concerts. I’ve been fortunate to see a lot of live music over the yeas, and I was amazed by the musicianship, energy and sense of community that I felt at the band’s show over the weekend at the FivePoint Amphitheater in Irivine, California.

Kick back and enjoy this edition of Song of the Week featuring The Movement’s Sound of Summer Remix with Slightly Stoopid and J Boog. While we all loved the original track, the remix absolutely kills it bringing in laid back island vibes and features by Slightly Stoopid and J Boog. The song was released by Ineffable Music and is a must add to your summer playlists.

Slightly Stoopid has officially announced the 9th annual Closer to the Sun concert vacation! With big names such as Stick Figure, Dirty Heads, Common Kings, The Movement and so many more, this is definitely a can’t miss trip. In partnership with Cloud 9 Adventures, the event takes place at the Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya, an all-inclusive resort on the coast of Mexico, for four days and nights from December 7-11, 2023.

Experience Slightly Stoopid and Sublime With Rome during the nationwide “Summertime 2023” Tour. It’s so awesome these two reggae rock bands are coming together on tour for the first time. These shows, produced by Live Nation, are going to be so epic!

While every great festival must come to an end, and although we have reached the final day of Cali Vibes 2023, I still had a full day of great artists ready to please the ears of thousands awaiting me.

There’s few releases I look forward to more than DENM and Landon McNamara. The first track from the EP, “Wild Trip” was chosen as one of the best tracks of 2022! The full EP is finally out and Slum Beach Posse Vol. 1 does not disappoint.

O! Jupiter’s debut album, “Illusions of a Cloud” is refreshing, dreamy and good vibe-filled! Although the Chicago-based band is not reggae per se, it’s super cool that they are inspired by the sound, flow and lyrics of reggae artists like Slightly Stoopid, Rebelution, and Sublime.
