The Wailers: Bob Marley's legendary band announce UK tour to celebrate 40th anniversary of 'Legend'

The Wailers have announced a huge UK tour to celebrate the 40th anniversary of 'Legend: The Best of Bob Marley and the Wailers'. The iconic reggae outfit - founded in 1963 by Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer - will perform the legendary album in full this Autumn.

In 2020, The Wailers made a comeback with “One World” - the band's first recording in 25 years. The album - which features hit song “One World, One Prayer” - earned the group a Grammy nomination for Best Reggae Album.

Earlier in February, it was confirmed Aston Barrett - the long-time bassist of Bob Marley and the Wailers - had died aged 77. His son Aston Barrett Jr. will continue his legacy as the band's leader and drummer for the upcoming tour.

The eleven shows include stops in Newcastle, Glasgow, Manchester, Sheffield, Leeds, Cardiff, Cambridge, London, Oxford, Bournemouth, and Bristol.
