UPDATE: This concert has moved to the Electric Factory.
Reggae artist, Damian Marley, and hip hop duo, Atmosphere, are joining forces for a co-headlining show which brings them to Philadelphia this June. They’ll be hitting the The Electric Factory on June 10th! And tickets are on sale now!
Damian Marley is the youngest son of reggae legend Bob Marley. He gets his nickname, “Jr. Gong” from his father’s nickname “Tuff Gong.” Following in his father’s footsteps, Damian Marley began performing at 13. In 1996, Damian Marley released his first album, Mr. Marley. His last solo album was in 2005, when he released Welcome to Jamrock. Since then, Marley has been busy recording collaborations with the likes of Nas, Skrillex, and Mick Jagger (as part of supergroup SuperHeavy).
Marley’s co-headliners, Atmosphere, are set to release their next album, Southsiders, on May 6th. This marks the duo’s eighth studio album, and their first release since 2011’s The Family Sign. They recently released a video for the track “Kanye West,” described as an updated take on Bonnie and Clyde. They also previously released the lead single from the upcoming album. You can stream “Bitter” here. Atmosphere have been around for a long time, having formed in Minnesota in 1989. The duo consists of rapper Slug (Sean Daley) and DJ/Producer Ant (Anthony Davis).
