Grammy-winning artist Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley is set to ignite London's South Facing Festival with his electrifying performance on August 10, 2024.

His undeniable talent solidifies his position as a prominent figure in the music industry.
The Crystal Palace Bowl holds special significance as the site of Bob Marley's largest and final London concert in 1980, commemorated with a blue plaque featuring Ethiopian/pan-African/Rastafari tri-colors. Joining Damian Marley at Jamrock are stellar performers, including Midlands roots-reggae band Steel Pulse, conscious lyricist Kabaka Pyramid, lover's rock favorite Romain Virgo, and the renowned dub reggae sound system, Channel One.
