Roots, Rock, Reggae Festival

Ziggy, Stephen, Julian, Damian and Ky-Mani Marley - five sons of music legend Bob Marley - have announced the debut and launch of the "Bob Marley: Roots, Rock, Reggae Festival." The summer concert tour will kick off in Virginia in early August with a four-week series of North American dates. The Marleys, Toots, Slightly Stoopid, Looner and Stone Love featuring MC/DJ G-Fuss will be on all dates. Common, Blackalicious and NappyRoots will appear on select dates only.

The cross-continent itinerary - which will see the four brothers performing as part of one uniquely talented band - marks the first time the iconic reggae pioneer's family has officially presented and collaborated on a tour, coast-to-coast under their father's name.

Launched in association with the William Morris Agency, the festival-styled performances will see the Marley siblings performing a mix of each brother's individual solo material in addition to many of their father's best-loved classics. With some two-dozen dates slated across North America, the tour will also feature such diverse star performers as Toots and the Maytals, Common, Nappy Roots, Blackalicious, Slightly Stoopid, Looner and Stone Love featuring MC/DJ G-Fuss.
