Grammy Award winning reggae artist Damian Marley is to headline back-to-back shows this summer at London’s indigO2.
Due to Huge demand Damian Marley at he indigO2 has led to the scheduling of an additional show on Friday July 27, to accompany his existing performance on Thursday July 26 as part of Respect Jamaica 50 celebrations.

Rob Hallett, President of International Touring at AEG Live, said: “The response to Damian Marley’s original show was so overwhelming we simply had to add another date. This country has always had an incredible passion for Jamaican music, and it’s fantastic that we can offer fans another chance to catch one of the biggest stars around.”
Respect Jamaica 50 will be celebrating 50 years of Jamaican Independence at The O2 and its multiple venues including indigO2, as London is transformed into a Caribbean oasis with over 50 artists taking to the stage.
