In Belgium there are many dub/reggae events, even on festivals there are quite some names from this side.

Germany got a big steppa's scene, France, Belgium, Switzerland as well, not to mention Croatia

I have been living in Finland for 10 years and I can say this country is rather obsessed with Reggae (not everybody of course). They have several really serious sound systems, regular parties, festivals, concerts and radio shows...

France (lots of great Dub coming from France, High Tone, Zenzille, Brain Damage etc)
Germany.
Spain.

France (by far)

Reggae is everywhere. I think it would be easier to list the European countries where it isn't popular. I am unaware of any type of reggae scene in the following countries (but please tell me if I'm wrong):
Iceland
Norway
Romania
Bulgaria
Turkey
Austria
Armenia
Azerbaijan
Georgia
Malta
Moldova

can only really vouch for france, when done there a few months back, they def on their dub vibes

lived in Czech for a while, it's not particularly massive there although there are plenty of smallish nights if you want to look for them.

Budapest are mad for it, and East(ern) Germany is surprisingly big on it too

italy!! ...and they removed Rototom

FRANCE:::: CHECK OUT KANKA!

also there is a great dub group called the Radikal Dub Kolektiv who are from Estonia, they make some worthwhile beats

Radikal Dub Kolektiv are from Croatia and are helping us with the Outlook Festival.
Kanka will also be playing at Outlook.

The whole hippie/freak thing was/is pretty big in Portugal and Spain (you can recognize spanish people abroad because the dudes ALWAYS sport a dreadlock mullet ) so reggae is big around here, but I can't really compare it with other countries.
