Kingston, Jamaica – Reggae fans across Europe are preparing for a rare opportunity to witness two of the genre’s most influential acts on the same stage when Burning Spear and Steel Pulse perform together in Lyon, France, on July 7, 2026.

The highly anticipated concert will take place at FIDUCIAL Astéria in Décines-Charpieu, located in the Lyon metropolitan area, bringing together two artists whose contributions have helped shape the global roots reggae movement for decades.

Two Icons of Roots Reggae
