The Wailers are following the success of last year's sell-out UK tour, with another run of dates, including a visit to Newcastle O2 Academy in November.
The reggae band will be performing the iconic Bob Marley Legend album live on stage featuring the classic chart-topping tracks Three Little Birds, I Shot The Sheriff and Jamming.
Formed in 1969 together with Bob Marley, The Wailers have sold in excess of 250 million albums worldwide. In England alone, they’ve notched up more than 20 chart hits, including seven Top Ten entries. The song One Love/ People Get Ready was named song of the millennium by the BBC, noting that it is played continuously during the millennium celebrations on the BBC. Outside of their ground-breaking work with Marley, The Wailers have also played with international acts like Sting, The Fugees, Stevie Wonder and Carlos Santana, as well as reggae legends such as Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer, and Burning Spear.
Legend was the 12th album released by Bob Marley and The Wailers and the second posthumous one. The tour also marks the celebration of Bob Marley’s 70th birthday.
