The Wailers are among the artists to headline the inaugural Montreux Jazz Festival Miami, March 1-3 at The Hangar at Regatta Harbour in Coconut Grove. 

Led by Aston Barrett Jr, whose father “Familyman” and uncle Carlton were original founding members of Bob Marley’s band,

The Wailers continue to preserve the legacy of reggae and Bob Marley’s music through their performances of timeless classics and incredible cuts from Bob Marley’s vast repertoire. Sharing their messages of love, unity and social justice, their performances bring together audiences of diverse backgrounds and generations. 

Miami now joins other global cities to host a Montreux Jazz Festival, which is usually known as a summer event that takes place at Lake Geneva, Switzerland. The event celebrates contemporary and emerging jazz musicians whilst playing homage to music’s legendary acts. 

“As a city of cultural connection, Miami naturally lends itself to the musical diversity that Montreux has become synonymous with. We believe that the waterfront location and the artists performing in this first edition are a true reflection of the original Montreux Jazz Festival experience,” said Montreux Jazz Festival CEO and cirector Mathieu Jaton.

Montreux Jazz Festival Miami promises other extraordinary artist performances at the intimate water front venue in Coconut Grove’s historical Dinner Kay Marina. 

Also on the lineup with The Wailers is headliner Grammy award winning Jon Baptist, Daryl Hall, Emily Estefan, Israel Houghton, Cuban musician Cimafunk and others.
