The Wailers het legendarische reggaecollectief van Bob Marley

50 years of positive vibration tour.

In 2026, The Wailers will celebrate the 50th anniversary of Rastaman Vibration, a milestone in reggae history and a tribute to one of Bob Marley & The Wailers' most influential albums. This special tour, 50 Years of Positive Vibrations, highlights a selection of Rastaman Vibration songs alongside the timeless classics that continue to unite audiences across all generations.

Rastaman Vibration, released in 1976, was a pivotal album that brought reggae's message of resistance, spirituality, and hope to the world stage. Songs like "Positive Vibration," "Roots, Rock, Reggae," and "War" remain as relevant today as they were then—powerful expressions of music as both a cultural force and a call for unity.

Led by Aston Barrett Jr., son of legendary bassist Aston “Familyman” Barrett, The Wailers continue to honor their roots while playing music with purpose and authenticity.

In a unique crossover to film, Aston Barrett Jr. played his father in the 2024 biopic Bob Marley: One Love, directed by Reinaldo Marcus Green and starring Kingsley Ben-Adir.

While honoring the past, The Wailers remain firmly rooted in the present. Their recent albums, "One World" and "Evolution"—both Grammy-nominated—reaffirm the band's creative vitality. "Evolution," produced by Grammy Award-winner Emilio Estefan Jr. on Crescent Moon Records, blends classic roots reggae with contemporary global influences, with songs like "Love Should Be Free" resonating worldwide for their positive and socially conscious message.

Audiences can look forward to a stirring setlist that weaves together the revolutionary spirit of Rastaman Vibration, the band’s classic hymns, and a selection of modern highlights – all delivered with the same authenticity, musicality, and passion that have made The Wailers a cornerstone of world music.

50 Years of Positive Vibrations is more than a tour – it's a celebration of meaningful music, a living connection between reggae's golden age and its enduring power to inspire unity, resilience, and hope.
