To the Organizers of Reggae Rise Up Arizona,

We are your biggest fans—the passionate, dedicated, and massive reggae community of Arizona. We buy the tickets, we promote the shows, and we count down the days until we can all be together celebrating the music we love under the desert sun. We are thrilled to welcome Reggae Rise Up to our state again!

Arizona is home to a thriving and talented reggae scene, with dozens of professional bands and a network of thousands of supporters who show up for live music every week. We are a family, and our local artists are the heartbeat of our community.

When the 2026 lineup was announced, our excitement was mixed with disappointment. We noticed a significant lack of representation from the very community this festival calls home.

We believe that Reggae Rise Up can be more than just a festival that happens in Arizona—it can be a festival that is truly part of Arizona.

That is why we are launching the AZ On The Rise campaign. We formally and respectfully petition Reggae Rise Up to partner with us to create a dedicated stage for local Arizona artists at the festival. This stage would not only provide an incredible platform for our state's talent but would also create a deeper, more authentic connection between the festival and the thousands of local fans attending.

Let's show the world the vibes, talent, and unity of the Arizona reggae scene. Let's give our local artists a chance to rise up!

Please sign and share this petition to help us bring the "AZ On The Rise" stage to life.
