One of the most important and renowned reggae acts today in The Wailers are heading to Australia next March for Bluesfest and the band have today announced four sideshow performances during their trip to our shores. 

Kicking off the headline performances in Cairns at Tanks on Thursday 17 March, the Jamaican-founded act will then hit the stage at The Playhouse at the Darwin Entertainment Centre on Saturday 19 March, before moving on to the Astor Theatre in Perth on Monday 21 March and finally Rooty Hill RSL in Sydney on Wednesday 23 March. 

Tickets for all shows go on sale from 10am this Thursday — head to theGuide for more details. 

The group, made up of the remaining members of Bob Marley & The Wailers following the iconic singer's death in 1991, will perform tracks spanning over their entire catalogue including Exodus, Survival, Uprising and Legend.
