LOS ANGELES, Aug. 6 (UPI) -- Bob Marley's sons have signed on to headline a U.S. tribute concert to their reggae legend father, the first time the brothers have toured together.
The Bob Marley Roots, Rock and Reggae Festival, featuring Ziggy, Stephen, Julian, Damien and Ky-Mani Marley, begins Saturday at the NTELOS Pavilion in Portsmouth, Va., and plays 16 days in August, ending up Aug. 29 at the Greek Theater in Berkeley, Calif., Rolling Stone reported Friday.
"We'll be playing songs that we've written and songs by our daddy," Ziggy Marley said.
The brothers are expected to trade instruments onstage while performing their dad's reggae classics, such as ""Natty Dread" and "Could You Be Loved."
Reggae pioneer Toots Hibbert and his band the Maytals will be on the bill, along with reggae-tinged alt-rockers Slightly Stoopid and Looner. Hip-hop's Common and Nappy Roots will play select dates.
