About

Reggae Rumble is a live reggae promoter based in Thailand. We book the artists we want to see, find rooms that suit them, and put local bands on the same stage.

The headliners come from all over. The support is almost always Thai, because the scene here is better than most people realise. Our shows have run everywhere from a beach bar on Koh Phangan to an arena in Bangkok.

Artists
International headliners and the best of Thai reggae
Venues
Island bars, clubs and concert arenas
The rest
Ticketing, promotion, production, visas and work permits

Reggae Rumble is run by Gigbudi, a Thailand-based booking and promotion company.

Next show

TBA

We're finalising the next headliner and dates now. Tickets for the Julian Marley tour were limited, and the next show's will be too.

The announcement goes out on Instagram and Facebook first.

How it came together

Gigbudi handled everything behind the tour: the booking, routing between the three cities, ticketing, promotion and production.

The Uprising's touring party came from six different countries, so work permits and visas were the slow part. Every one was approved, and the single on-site inspection found no problems.

The campaign ran one poster per city, each in a colour from the flag.
