Omar Perry, the son of legendary Jamaican record producer, songwriter, and singer Lee “Scratch” Perry OD, is among the performers confirmed for Bob Marley’s 80th Birthday Celebration in Aarhus, Denmark. The event will be held on February 15, 2025, at one of the city’s largest live music venues, Voxhall.
Leading up to the show, Perry has released two new singles that are already gaining traction. The first is “What You Fighting For,” released on December 3rd, 2024, via Parisian label Dubsquad Productions; and the other is “Better Than,” track #4 on Clive Hunt‘s Nyabingi Love Riddim, which also features Maxi Priest, J.C. Lodge, Lutan Fyah, George Nooks, Kabaka Pyramid, and Jamelody.
Perry will have the support of a full backing band at the previously mentioned concert. What’s more, the One Love Marley Band, a Bob Marley tribute group, as well as Slo Down, the oldest active reggae ensemble in Denmark, are also booked for the show.
This is the 12th staging of the annual Bob Marley Celebration, and it has always been, and continues to be, powered by Jam Link Intl.
In 2024, Dollarman and his team made concerted efforts to expand his reach, particularly among enthusiasts of reggae music, and they were successful. Despite releasing only two singles within the twelve-month period (We Belong & So Tired), he remained steadfast in promoting both tracks, resulting in their placement on New York’s Reggae Chart. Furthermore, these songs transcended state lines and garnered favorable placements on reggae platforms worldwide.
Dollarman has expressed a clear intention to maintain this forward momentum this year. Before resuming work on new projects, he took a moment to pen an open thank-you note to all who contributed to making 2024 a remarkable year for him.
He stated: “I just want to take this time to thank all my fans and supporters nationally and internationally for their amazing support in 2024. It was an amazing year for my reggae track ‘We Belong.’ I truly appreciate the love and tremendous support. For everyone who is sending me messages wanting to hear more from Dollarman in 2025—I heard you loud and clear—and I am already putting in work to provide you with music you can feel… Music with substance. Music with a message. I wish each and every one prosperity for this new year. Stay tuned for Dollarman 2025.”
This heartfelt acknowledgment not only reflects Dollarman’s gratitude but also sets an exciting tone for what fans can expect moving forward into the new year.
