With roots in Kingston, Jamaica’s 1960s music scene, The Wailers helped bring reggae to audiences around the world. On the Exodus 2027 World Tour, the band celebrates the legacy of Bob Marley & The Wailers.
The Exodus 2027 World Tour marks 50 years since the release of Bob Marley & The Wailers’ 1977 album. Its songs brought messages of freedom, belonging and everyday hope to listeners around the world. The tour artwork’s “Album of the Century” billing reflects the record’s lasting place in reggae history.
The Wailers’ official 2027 announcement connects that legacy with the band’s present-day lineup, led by Aston Barrett Jr. This is an opportunity to reconnect with the music’s cultural roots while following the musicians carrying its message into another generation.
The show builds on Burlington’s October 3, 2025 End of Summer Block Party, held in association with Core Properties and Burlington Food Hall. It follows a growing calendar of North Carolina reggae events, including the 2025 One People Reggae & Arts Festival in Hope Mills.
