Andrew Tosh, Anthony B lead musical salute to Peter Tosh

“I am moved by the turnout of patrons who came out to pay tribute to the legacy of my father despite the rains,” said Niambe McIntosh, head of the Peter Tosh Foundation, reflecting on a celebration that underscored the enduring power of Peter Tosh’s music and message.

That spirit of devotion was on full display at Woodstock Beach in Negril, Westmoreland, on Saturday, October 17, as artistes, cultural enthusiasts, and music lovers turned out in droves for Tosh Fest 2026, despite the inclement weather. They gathered with one purpose in mind: To honour the reggae icon while celebrating 50 years since the release of his landmark album Legalize It.

From the spiritual grounding of Nyabinghi drumming to the impassioned performances of established and emerging acts, the celebration brought Peter Tosh’s revolutionary catalogue and uncompromising principles into focus, reminding those gathered that his legacy extends far beyond the music.
