Reggae Roots @ Ellis Beach Bar & Grill

Bredrin and Sistren the time has come once again to gather at Ellis Beach under the Red Gold and Green banner. We have a killer lineup of local talent for you once again.

On the decks we have our homegrown Selectors Dizza One, Djinna and RockStone who will be playing a mix of Reggae, Dancehall, Dub, Ska, Steppas and more.

Our live lineup:

– Bala Kaijo is one of Cairns’ freshest Indigenous voices, weaving powerful stories into every note. A proud descendant of St Pauls Village on MOA Island in the Torres Strait, his music is steeped in cultural pride and connection. With totems of Dugong (Sea Cow), Brown Snake (Thabu), Thupmul (Stingray), and Saara (Bird), Bala channels tradition into a sound that’s as heartfelt as it is unforgettable. As well as playing music Bala Kaijo is our host for the evening

– Straight from the heart of the Amazon’s healing traditions and into the soul of Roots Reggae, Icaro brings rhythm with purpose. Colombian-born and Cairns-based, this band has been lighting up festival stages all year. Now they return to Ellis Beach with their full crew, ready to drop grooves that hit deep and keep you dancing until the last beat.

– Legends of the Kuranda music scene, Zennith carry the mighty Brim reggae legacy with pride. This year marks 20 years since their first release and to celebrate, Aiden is flying in from across the country to reunite with the crew and close the night with a dynamic, unforgettable set that only Zennith can deliver.
