The annual birthday celebration for the late Jo Mersa Marley, grandson of the reggae legend Bob Marley, returns for its third staging with a new venue and an electrifying lineup of musical greats. 

This year’s tribute concert will take place at the iconic Bob Marley Museum on March 8 bringing the celebration to Kingston’s heart—a space rich with Marley history and musical vibrations.

While the 2025 event is confirmed for its current location, it may return to Nine Mile or another venue in future.

It promises to be an unforgettable night of music, unity, and tribute, honouring the life and impact of Joseph ‘Jo Mersa’ Marley. He left an indelible mark on reggae music before his untimely passing in December 2023, and this special event will bring together family, friends, and fans to celebrate his legacy through powerful performances. 

Headlining the tribute concert are the Marley Brothers (Stephen, Julian, Ky-Mani, and Damian) alongside the next generation of talent, including YG Marley, Skip Marley, Yohan Marley, Hymn Marley, Mystic Marley, and Shacia Payne. A star-studded lineup of additional artists will be announced soon, as we continue to honour Jo Mersa’s spirit and artistry in true reggae fashion.

Jo Mersa grew up at 56 Hope Road, on the ground of what is now the Bob Marley Museum, attending school in his youthful days at St Peter & Paul Preparatory.

Hosting the celebration at this iconic venue allows fans to fully immerse themselves in the history and energy of the Marley heritage while celebrating Jo Mersa’s enduring musical contributions. Additionally, its central location makes it an ideal gathering place for family, friends, and fans to come together in tribute to Jo Mersa Marley’s life and legacy.

Tickets will be available for purchase at The Bob Marley Museum and Tuff Gong International Studios
