KV Reggae Fest is back with the biggest lineup yet
KV Reggae Fest returns for its third year, transforming the expansive beer garden of The Friendly Inn in Kangaroo Valley into one of the South Coast’s most unique live music experiences.
This year’s festival delivers its most ambitious line-up to date, headlined by Sub-Tribe (New Zealand), whose bass-heavy live show has ignited stages across Europe and Australasia. They are joined by Sydney’s Afro-Caribbean groove outfit The Strides and legendary Malian guitarist Moussa Diakite & Wassado, bringing the hypnotic rhythms of Bamako to regional NSW.
Also on the bill are Wollongong favourites Ren & The Rudeboys & Beatmeisters, Sydney’s all-female roots collective The Lady Beans, and Canberra’s genre-blending This Way Orkestra.
Just two hours from Sydney and Canberra, KV Reggae Fest proves that world-class music doesn’t require city chaos — just fresh country air, a wide-open beer garden and a sound system built to do the bands justice.
Gates open at 2pm, with music running through to midnight. Festival-goers can enjoy Jamaican street eats, smoked barbecue, market stalls, workshops and kids’ activities — making it a genuine all-ages event.
KV Reggae Fest 2026 is proudly supported through Revive Live – an Australian Government initiative.
