Omar Perry for Marley celebration in Denmark, Feb 15
Omar Perry, son of legendary Jamaican record producer, songwriter, and singer Lee “Scratch” Perry is among the performers confirmed for Bob Marley’s 80th birthday celebrations in Aarhus, Denmark.
The event will be held on February 15, 2025 at one of the city’s largest live music venues, Voxhall.
Leading up to the show, Perry has released two new singles that are already gaining traction. The first is What You Fighting For” released on December 3, 2024 via Parisian label Dubsquad Productions, and the other is Better Than, track #4 on Clive Hunt’s Nyabingi Love rhythm, which also features Maxi Priest, J C Lodge, Lutan Fyah, George Nooks, Kabaka Pyramid, and Jamelody.
Perry will have the support of a full backing band at the previously mentioned concert. What’s more, the One Love Marley Band, a Bob Marley tribute group, as well as Slo Down, the oldest active reggae ensemble in Denmark, are also booked for the show.
This is the 12th staging of the annual Bob Marley Celebration, and it has always been, and continues to be, powered by Jam Link Intl.
