After taking a hiatus, which was due in part to the pandemic, Jam Link International – the company that’s responsible for Aarhus’ annual Bob Marley Celebration – is now ready to resume the show on a more consistent basis. Having said that, the 2024 staging will be presented at Volume Village (located at Thomas Koppels Gade 201, 8000 Aarhus C) on Saturday, February 24, with a running time of 21:30 – 03:30.
As of this writing, the organizers have confirmed several of the region’s top-tier reggae selectors: DJ Willy, Denali Sound & Crew, as well as veteran guest Booyaka Sound from Odense, who is now celebrating their 30th anniversary. They’re also promising to announce the full and complete lineup at the end of January.
Jam Link Intl.‘s Bob Marley Celebration was first presented in 2015. Both local – Europe based – and international (Jamaica and other Caribbean nationals) reggae performers have graced its stage. Furthermore, this event has become one of Aarhus’ most anticipated reggae concerts scheduled in the first quarter, and that is regardless of the lineup.
