Gig & Concert News - WOMAD NZ Announces Ziggy Marley for 2024 Festival

WOMAD NZ Announces Ziggy Marley for 2024 Festival

30 August 2023 - 0 Comments

Following a triumphant return with its 20th anniversary at Ngāmotu's stunning Brooklands Park and the TSB Bowl of Brooklands, WOMAD NZ is poised to host the 2024 festival on March 15-17.

To whet the appetite ahead of the full 2024 festival announcement, WOMAD NZ is thrilled to reveal that Ziggy Marley (Jamaica) is the first act to be announced to perform in March next year. Given Ziggy's iconic status and tremendous resonance with fans across Aotearoa, this is a special first announcement, with more festival acts to be announced in September and October.

Ziggy Marley, the socially conscious reggae world music sensation, heralds an extraordinary beginning to what promises to be an unforgettable event.

Ziggy Marley is an eight-time Grammy winner, Emmy winner, musician, producer, activist and humanitarian who has cultivated a legendary career for close to 40 years. The eldest son of Bob and Rita Marley, Ziggy has hewed his own path as a musical pioneer, infusing the reggae genre with funk, blues, rock and other elements through mindful songcraft. Equal parts master storyteller and motivational guide, he deftly explores issues from environmental awareness to self-empowerment, social injustice to political inequity while returning again and again to the transformative power of love. And over the past 15 years with his own companies, Tuff Gong Worldwide and Ishti Music, Marley has complete control of his masters and publishing, alongside his charity URGE – benefiting the well-being of children in Jamaica, Africa and North America.
