About This Event

The Wailers will bring their enduring reggae legacy to Belfast’s Mandela Hall on Wednesday 19 August 2026, with doors opening at 6pm. Formed from Bob Marley’s original backing group, the band continues to honour the catalogues of Marley and Peter Tosh, performed by musicians who have toured with the ensemble for decades. Their sound is built on loping basslines, offbeat guitar skanks and layered harmonies that fill the room with a slow, rolling warmth. On stage, the rhythm section locks into a steady one-drop pulse while horns and keys add brightness, creating a groove that feels both celebratory and reflective. The atmosphere is one of shared reverence and joy, as the music moves between buoyant uplift and deeper, more contemplative currents. Ticket prices are available on the venue’s website.
