To honor Bob Marley‘s 80th birthday, his estate has organized a series of events to celebrate the legacy of the reggae legend. The festivities start up on Thursday (February 6) – Marley’s birthday – with the ‘Uprising’ Tribute Concert livestream from the family’s iconic Tuff Gong Studios in Kingston, Jamaica, featuring performances from a series of Jamaican artists. The celebration will also feature a global singalong of Marley classics, performed by the 8,000-person Young Voices Choir in Manchester, England. “Each year, we honor his legacy in a way that unites our extended family, friends, and fans from all corners of the globe,” says Bob’s daughter, Cedella Marley. “This 80th milestone is a reminder of his timeless call for love, resilience, and freedom.” More events honoring Marley are planned throughout the year, including the debut of a new docuseries titled Bob Marley & I about the Wailers’ historic 1975 concerts in London.
