The announcement of Burna Boy as a headliner for Reggae Land has sparked mixed reactions online, with some fans also questioning why Masicka is not featured on the main Saturday or Sunday lineup.
After record-breaking sold-out dates, Reggae Land UK has expanded into a three-day event for the first time, adding Friday, July 31 to the schedule.
While many welcomed the expansion, some critics questioned why an Afrobeats star is headlining a reggae-focused festival and why Masicka is not part of the main weekend nights.
In response, organizers explained that the Saturday and Sunday programmes were already fully built and contractually confirmed. They stated that adding another major artist to those days was not possible without disrupting existing agreements, which prompted the decision to introduce an additional day.
The main stage on Saturday, August 1 and Sunday, August 2 will feature acts including Vybz Kartel, Shenseea, Shaggy, Beenie Man, Morgan Heritage, Tarrus Riley, Konshens, and Kranium, among others.
The expansion marks a major milestone for the UK-based festival as debate continues across social media.
