NewsMarch, 11 Marley's son at peace festival
Bob Marley's son will be performing for the first time in Britain, at a festival celebrating the life of the reggae legend. Ky-Mani Marley will be singing a selection of his father's greatest hits at The One Love Peace Festival at Wembley Arena. The concert, on July 31, will mark 30 years since the singer's death at the age of 36. US rap star Busta Rhymes will headline the event, while other performers will include Shaggy and Sean Paul. Busta Rhymes said: "I can't wait to get back to the UK! It's been three years since I last performed here so I'm dying to tear the roof off Wembley Arena at The One Love Peace Festival with some old school joints and brand new bangers. When I'm done, you're gonna remember it for a long time to come. Get ready because it's about to go down!" Ky-Mani Marley said: "I feel blessed to be part of The One Love Peace Festival. It is with great pride that I will pay homage to my father, Bob Marley, with some of his best-loved songs. "The festival's message of peace is a noble cause that I hold very dear to my heart and one that my father would have applauded." The One Love Peace Festival was inspired by Jamaica's One Love Peace Concert held in Kingston in 1978. A spokesman for the organisers said it was Ky-Mani's first performance in Britain. Event organiser Dexter Ricketts said: "The event is all about raising multi-cultural awareness and tolerance through the powerful medium of music."
