YG Marley will perform nowhere else in the Benelux or immediate region, making this an unmissable event.
Reggae phenomenon: a landmark performance on August 3rd
YG Marley, the son of Lauryn Hill and Rohan Marley and grandson of the legendary Bob Marley, has taken the music world by storm with his unique fusion of reggae, hip-hop, and modern beats. His debut single, "Praise Jah in the Moonlight," catapulted him to international fame, amassing over a quarter-billion streams (+265 million and counting!) and becoming a viral sensation on TikTok. YG Marley's powerful performances, including a standout show at Coachella, have firmly established him as a rising star in the music industry.
This exclusive performance at Reggae Geel marks YG Marley’s first-ever appearance in Europe. It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for fans to witness his dynamic energy and vibrant stage presence live on Saturday, August 3rd. This will be YG Marley’s only performance in the region, making it an unrepeatable event for reggae fans and music lovers.
