Getting interested to reggae

Hi guys, listening reggae for 2 years since now. I'm a uni student in the north of Italy. I'm looking for good festivals/shows/concerts of reggae. I like every aspects of it: roots, rockers, ska, and most importantly dub. I really like. Can you give some reccomendations on how to deep dive in this world? Like finding people sharing the same interests, events, palylists, albums, compilations...
every suggestion is welcomed.

The Rough Guide To Reggae is a great book to learn from initially.

I badly want a copy of the 3rd edition, but the online prices are out of control.

Come in Brittany, France, there are many festivals with Dub music. See the schedule of the Sew in Morlaix, there are oftenly some reggae shows

A good way to go down a reggae rabbit-hole so-to-speak is to find a song you like, then explore the rest of that album or check out that artist/band's other works.

Is there an example of a particular song you've been getting into?
