DAMIAN “JR Gong” MARLEY

Grammy-winning reggae royalty, Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley is the youngest son of Bob Marley and one of the most important voices in modern reggae. He broke through globally with 2005's Welcome to Jamrock, and its title track remains one of the most recognisable reggae anthems of the century.

Across albums like Halfway Tree and Stony Hill, his collaboration with Nas on Distant Relatives, and the supergroup SuperHeavy, Damian has taken roots reggae into hip-hop, rock and beyond without ever losing its conscious core. We are so honoured to welcome Damian Marley to headline City Splash 2027.
