Bumpin Uglies and Shwayze book Vinyl Music Hall for Jan. 31

The punk-reggae band brings Shwayze to Pensacola's 850-capacity room on a Sunday, the night after the pair share a bill at Jannus Live in St. Pete.

Late January in Pensacola is not beach season, but Bumpin Uglies and Shwayze are bringing some of it indoors.

Bumpin Uglies play Vinyl Music Hall in Pensacola on Sunday, January 31, 2027, at 7 p.m., with Shwayze on the bill. Tickets are $25–$30 through See Tickets, and Vinyl holds 850. The show was announced October 27.

It looks like a Florida swing. The night before, January 30, Shwayze headlines Jannus Live in St. Petersburg with Bumpin Uglies and Kat Hall on the bill, per JamBase. Pensacola gets the two acts the next evening, with Bumpin Uglies on top.

For the uninitiated, Bumpin Uglies mix punk and reggae, and they have been building their audience the long way, on the road. Their most recent full-length is Lyrics Over Everything, released June 21, 2024, as the band's eighth studio album, according to Wikipedia. Before that came an acoustic record, Underdog, which they toured with The Expendables in fall 2023, as Grateful Web and Icon vs. Icon reported.

The band has kept that pace into this fall. Buffalo Iron Works has them returning on their Orange Crush Tour with Artikal Sound System on November 11, 2026, and spring and summer 2026 dates included the High Hopes Music Festival in Bedford, Pa., per setlist.fm. We did not find a new album announced for 2026, so expect a set built from the catalog they already have.

A Sunday night in January, a reggae-punk band that lives on the road, and a room that holds 850.

Shwayze is a familiar name on the beach-rock circuit, and his recent runs have included a "Nostalgia Tour" with Sammy Adams and Chiddy Bang, per its Eventbrite listing. Pairing him with Bumpin Uglies makes a bill that should draw both crowds.

Why Vinyl: at 850, it is big enough for a double bill with two fan bases and small enough to keep a Sunday show from feeling empty. The 7 p.m. start helps on a school and work night.

When to get tickets: they are on sale now at $25–$30. With a weekend show in St. Pete the night before, Pensacola is the place to catch this pairing in this part of the state.

Wear something with a little color. It is still January.
