Friday, June 20 at Ship Point Ticketed: $49.95 - $65 advance

All Ages / Beverage Service for 19 yrs+ w/ID (Kids 10 and under free with adult)
The bass is deep, the vibes are high, and the reggae rhythms are about to take over Victoria’s Inner Harbour. Kicking off the ticketed shows, Dub FX will headline Victoria’s 26th Annual Ska & Reggae Festival on the Friday night, bringing his signature fusion of beatboxing, looping, and bass-heavy electronic dub to Ship Point. Known for turning the streets into stages, the Australian-born artist has built a global following with his genre-defying sound that blends reggae, hip-hop, drum and bass, and deep, conscious lyricism. From viral street performances to massive festival stages, Dub FX is pure energy and innovation, crafting entire sonic landscapes with nothing but his voice and a loop station.

Joining the bill is the feel-good groove machine known as Lazy Syrup Orchestra—a collective of all-star Canadian musicians. Lazy Syrup Orchestra is all about slow-dripped, sun-soaked beats that make you move. Merging live instrumentation with soulful electronic elements, their sets are an irresistible blend of funk, hip-hop, and downtempo house, creating the perfect vibe for golden hour by the harbour. Whether you’re skanking, swaying, or just soaking it all in, Lazy Syrup Orchestra delivers sweet and pure ear candy.

Before that, though, Ed Solo and Navigator, a duo that needs little introduction in the world of jungle and drum and bass, will get your body moving. Ed Solo, the UK-based producer and DJ, has been a force in bass music for over two decades, crafting dancefloor anthems that blur the lines between reggae, dub, and DnB. Pair him with Navigator, a legendary MC with roots in London’s underground soundsystem culture, and you’ve got a masterclass in high-energy, bass-heavy beats. Expect chest-rattling drops, rapid-fire lyricism, and a set that’ll have the whole festival moving as one.

Holding it all together between sets is DJ Dubconscious, a true selector’s selector with a deep love for all things dub, reggae, and bass. A staple of Canada’s bass music scene, Dubconscious has spent years championing the sounds of reggae, dancehall, and electronic dub, delivering seamless mixes that keep the crowd grooving from start to finish. Whether he’s pulling deep cuts from reggae’s golden era or dropping modern bass-heavy bangers, his sets are exactly what you’d come to expect at Victoria’s Ska & Reggae Festival.
