Reggae at a Crossroads

Join us this JulyOne, 2025 as Reggae takes center stage. Be a part of a global collaboration on the ground and online, to help reignite the power, message and movement of the music.

Reclaiming the Frequency
 

Why Reggae • Why Now?

Reggae music has always been more than the pulsating riddim.
It’s truth. It’s love. It’s the voice of the people. 

Its the sound track of resistance.
The world needs that voice and message right now.

IRD 2025 is a global call to recognise, realign, reconnect and reclaim the frequency. 

Link up and together, we rally on JulyOne.

The 2025 Call

For 31 years, International Reggae Day has celebrated the culture, legacy and sound that began in Kingston, Jamaica, ‘where big tings start’,  and has captivated the world.

But in 2025, we’re doing more than celebrating, We're Reclaiming.

This year is a global rallying cry to reignite the message, amplify the sound and elevate the voices that matter.

Whether you’re an artiste in Kingston, a selector in Soweto, a radio station in Nassau, a band in Bogotá, a fan in Tokyo, a sound system in Berlin, a DJ in Türkiye or an online Reggae platform or community - IRD 2025 invites you to activate this year on JulyOne.
