It’s official: Alkaline is booked for Dream Weekend 2026.
The announcement comes as Dream Entertainment moves the iconic summer festival from its Negril home, after 16 years, to Jamaica’s north coast, Montego Bay, next year.
Organisers say they are turning up the heat for 2026 with a bold new chapter and an even bolder artiste line-up.
The “Vendetta Boss” himself is set to deliver a one-of-a-kind performance for the new edition. Known for delivering hit after hit and commanding massive crowds locally and overseas, Alkaline’s presence signals a bold, new era for the Dream brand.
“Alkaline represents the voice of a generation and the pinnacle of modern dancehall,” said Scott Dunn, group managing director, Dream Entertainment Limited. “Bringing him on exclusively for Dream Weekend 2026 is more than about a performance, but more so a cultural moment. It symbolises our… commitment to pushing boundaries.”
Dream Weekend 2026 is scheduled for July 30 – August 3, 2026, its usual Emancipendence week, with signature themed parties, premium entertainment, and an immersive cultural experience set against the stunning backdrop of Montego Bay’s picturesque waterfront venues, providing a new party experience for the event’s loyal patrons.
