The essential meeting for reggae and dub in Limoges
Born in 2024, the Reggae Dub Nation Festival quickly established itself as a major event on the reggae and dub scene in Nouvelle-Aquitaine. Organized by 3AG Prod at the Centre Culturel Municipal John Lennon in Limoges, this indoor festival brings together international artists from the roots, reggae, and dub genres each year for two intense evenings. Between powerful sound systems, live concerts, and a warm atmosphere, Reggae Dub Nation celebrates the diversity of dub cultures from all horizons.
Created in 2024 by 3AG Prod, the Reggae Dub Nation Festival is a musical event dedicated to reggae, dub, and sound systems, held annually at the Centre Culturel Municipal John Lennon in Limoges. Driven by the passion of Amadou and his team, this festival continues the rich reggae tradition in the Limousin capital and aims to promote dub cultures far beyond the borders of the Limousin region.
The CCM John Lennon, located at 41ter rue de Feytiat in Limoges, offers an intimate and warm setting perfectly suited to the vibrations of reggae and dub. The venue allows for a unique proximity between artists and the audience, enhancing the energy of live performances and the power of sound systems. Each evening starts at 9 PM and continues into the heart of the night, with sets alternating between live concerts on stage and sound system sessions.
From its very first edition in November 2024, the festival made a strong impact by inviting British dub legends like Aba Shanti-I and Adrian Sherwood, alongside Macka B, Tetra Hydro K, Ondubground, and Mahom. The second edition in 2025 confirmed this ambition with Pierpoljak, Weeding Dub meeting Vibronics feat. Marina P, Alpha Steppa, Mister Gang, and Joe Yorke. The festival skillfully blends international headliners with emerging artists, with the local RDS Sound System ensuring smooth transitions and maintaining the atmosphere throughout each evening.
Beyond the music, Reggae Dub Nation offers a catering area with various food stalls and a bar, creating an atmosphere of sharing and conviviality. The festival attracts a passionate audience from all over the region and beyond, united by a love for deep bass and captivating rhythms. Photographers and specialized media, including the Culture Dub website, cover the event, testifying to its growing influence in the French reggae-dub community.
The third edition of Reggae Dub Nation expands to three days in June 2026 with an exceptional lineup including Julian Marley, The Twinkle Brothers, Channel One, Jah Mason, Mad Professor, and many other internationally renowned artists.
