Damian Jr Gong Marley and his band arrived in South Africa on May 25th after kicking off their tour in Paris @ Elysee Montmartre on May 23rd. 

Back in 2010, when Damian Marley & Nas’ Distant Relatives album was released, there were plans to tour Africa, but the tour never materialized. Now, 7 years later, Damian Marley will tour Africa for the first time as part of a seven-week Africa/Europe tour, which leads to the long awaited album release of Stony Hill (out July 21st):

May 26th - Johannesburg, South Africa
May 28th - Durban, South Africa
May 31st - Nairobi, Kenya
June 3rd - Saint Pierre, Reunion Island
June 4th - Port Louis, Mauritius
June 6th - Addis Ababa - Ethiopia

It’s the first time for Junior Gong to tour Africa, but he previously performed together with his brothers in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia (2005) and Accra, Ghana (2006) as part of the Africa Unite concerts.

The european tour continues with stops in the UK, Netherlands, Switzerland, Germany…check the full 2017 tour schedule here!
