An evening with reggae legends Ziggy Marley and Burning Spear is set for Denver. On October 11, the two icons will bring their vibrant and soulful "Do The Reggae Tour" to the historic Fillmore Auditorium, celebrating the rich legacy of reggae music while sharing messages of love, unity, and resistance.
Ziggy Marley, the eldest son of reggae pioneer Bob Marley, has built an impressive career of his own over the past four decades. He began producing music at 17 with his siblings in The Melody Makers, carving out a sound that blended roots traditions with contemporary influences. Since then, Marley has released eight studio albums, earned eight Grammy Awards, and won Best Reggae Album seven times. Beyond his celebrated discography, he has used his platform to champion social and political causes, including being named Goodwill Youth Ambassador for the United Nations in his hometown of Kingston. Marley continues to carry forward his father’s legacy while solidifying his own as one of reggae’s most influential voices.
Sharing the stage is roots legend Burning Spear, one of Jamaica’s most respected cultural icons. Known as both a Rastafarian preacher and a Black historian, Spear has built a career weaving spiritual teachings and social consciousness into his music. Since his 1973 debut "Studio One Presents Burning Spear," he has released 28 studio albums, each marked by powerful messages of identity, pride, and resistance. His commanding stage presence and uncompromising vision have earned him two Grammy Awards and a lasting reputation as a torchbearer of roots reggae. With Marley, Spear joins the "Do The Reggae Tour" to deliver an unforgettable evening that celebrates the enduring power and spirit of reggae music.
