Edinburgh Dub Club and Messenger join forces again for the second Grand Reggae Ball in the historic Portobello Town Hall, an event which is now an essential fixture in the Edinburgh music calendar for all nice and decent people.
Providing the musikal hot-shots from 5pm - 11pm is the original MESSENGER SOUNDSYSTEM - with more than 30 years in the game shining a light on great roots reggae music and providing conscious vibes in the dance at the famous Bongo Club, they string up their 2 mighty stacks of sound for the second time in Portie. On the mic, the legendary Afrikan Simba from Nigeria and ready to hot up the session once more, joined by local hero Ista Lion.
There will be a bar, authentic African food and good vibes guaranteed throughout.
Those who have attended our previous events will know this is an unmissable night of hot reggae music, warm bass vibrations and big dancefloor action promoting unity, community and positivity for the local man woman and child.
Children under the age of 18 are allowed at the event until 8pm under our license conditions.
Tickets cost £12 - £16 + BF in advance (more on the door) for adults and £7 for under 18s (Free for under 5s). This event features loud music and your discretion is advised.
Capacity is limited - it sold out quickly last time - book in advance to guarantee your spot.
