Damian Marley adds another show to Respect Jamaica 50

Grammy Award winning reggae artist Damian Marley has added an extra date to Respect Jamaica 50 the Jamaican music and culture festival celebrating the 50th anniversary of Jamaica's independence.

Damian Marley will now headline two back-to-back shows this summer at London's indigO2. Huge demand has led to the scheduling of an additional show on Friday 27th July, to accompany his existing performance on Thursday 26th July as part of Respect Jamaica 50 celebrations.

The youngest son of Bob Marley will be delivering his trademark blend of dancehall and reggae to thousands of fans with hits like 'Welcome to Jamrock', 'As We Enter', 'Affairs of the Heart' and 'Set Up Shop'.

Rob Hallett, President of International Touring at AEG Live, said, "The response to Damian Marley's original show was so overwhelming we simply had to add another date. This country has always had an incredible passion for Jamaican music, and it's fantastic that we can offer fans another chance to catch one of the biggest stars around."
