Known for pairing Jamaica’s finest culinary experiences with rich culture and warm community spirit, this year’s staging promises an entertainment line-up featuring some of reggae’s most celebrated artistes. Following a spectacular début in 2023 that featured performances from Richie Spice, Jesse Royal, and Luciano, the 2025 edition will raise the bar.

Festival-goers can look forward to show-stopping performances from legendary reggae artistes Chris Martin, Agent Sasco, and Capleton alongside a dynamic mix of rising stars to pay homage to Jamaica’s rich reggae culture. The weekend will feature three days of entertainment for patrons to experience live stage performances under the stars, intimate cultural showcases, and rhythmic beats that embody the true spirit of Treasure Beach. In addition to the headlining acts, patrons can expect a rotating roster of DJs, drummers, and local talents, ensuring every night delivers a one-of-a-kind celebration of music and culture. New to this year’s staging is a breakfast party on Saturday, November 8, at Jack Sprat, bringing a fusion of Reggae and EDM. Featuring DJs Kamal Bankay and DJ Pietro, the event promises to infuse the weekend with a unique, high-energy vibe.

Festival Co-Director Jason Henzell noted: “When conceptualising Treasure Beach Food, Rum & Reggae Festival we knew we wanted reggae to be a key element, and we’re proud to be in a position to deliver on that promise with this year’s iconic line-up.” Agent Sasco shared what attendees can expect: “I love the concept and texture of the event, and I consider it a very welcome addition to the event landscape in Jamaica, especially being on the south coast… [M]y mission on the night is to bring the reggae, but I will also be bringing some dancehall, so we can call this staging Treasure Beach Food, Rum, Reggae and Dancehall Festival.” Patrons may also enjoy guided tours of nearby attractions such as Lover’s Leap, Pelican Bar, and Middle Quarters, alongside the food & rum village, cultural experiences, and the unmatched energy of the Treasure Beach community.
