It's a new year, and as the world has made significant steps in reopening since the 2020 pandemic, that means there are new reggae tours that we are extremely excited about! Here are some of your favorite artists that will be on tour this spring!
Iration with Tropidelic and Kash'd Out
Long known for bringing their brand of breezy good vibes to fans through phenomenal recordings and even better shows, reggae rock legends Iration are hitting the road in May for their aptly named Zen Island tour. The band will have two killer groups joining them on this trip to their Island of Zen. The first is the awesome Cleveland-based Tropidelic, who blends reggae, funk, hip hop, and rock in a way that has quickly grown them a loyal fanbase. The other is the amazing Florida group Kash'd Out. We are big fans of Kash'd Out and recommend checking out their artist profile with Daily Reggae to learn more about their music and what inspires them.

Collie Buddz with Artikal Sound System
Reggae super-producer and artist Collie Buddz will be hitting the West Coast this spring with Florida rising stars Artikal Sound System. Buddz puts on an incredible show, as his unique style of reggae, hip hop, and dancehall translates very well to the live stage. Artikal Sound System is out performing on the heels of their debut album release "Welcome to Florida". We've been loving this album and took a deep dive into the release.

The Wailers
Reggae LEGENDS The Wailers will be bringing their international claim on a tour spanning three continents this spring. Their tour will begin with shows in the United Kingdom, followed by dates in America, and then heading across the even larger pond to Australia. Fans can expect to hear their Wailer favorites from their era with Bob Marley, as well as tracks from their recent release One World, which was nominated for Best Reggae Album at the 2021 Grammy Awards.

Ballyhoo! and The Elovaters
Reggae rockers Ballyhoo! and The Elovators will be hitting the Southeastern United States this April. Ballyhoo! has been a staple of reggae and ska-punk stages for the past decade. Their fan-favorite album "Daydreams" recently passed an impressive milestone of 40 million streams on Spotify, and they will certainly be riding this high as they hit the road. The Elovaters, hailing from the Northeast, have quickly cemented themselves as major players in the American reggae-rock scene. Their 2021 album "Castles", produced by the renowned Johnny Cosmic, is a wonderful work of art from start to finish. We had a wonderful time listening and reviewing this release, which you can read here. For dates and tickets visit: https://ballyhoorocks.com/tour
Tired of Waiting by Ballyhoo! is the Daily Reggae Song of the Day.
