Roots Up Festival

Roots Up Festival takes place in Cologne, in the outdoor area of the Kantine, as a one-day open-air festival. Founded in 2009, it features reggae in its various forms—rocksteady, dub, ska and dancehall—alongside Afrobeats, with international artists, emerging acts and local groups. Workshops, a small bazaar and international food complete the event, which has hosted Dub Princess & The Hotsteppas.
