Legendary band The Wailers to perform in Grand Rapids


The Wailers are coming to spread their message of peace and love in Grand Rapids with a performance in Grand Rapids on June 23 at 8 p.m. at The Intersection. Come see the greatest living exponents of reggae music perform some of their most popular songs like Jamming, Redemption Song and Could You Be Loved. Tickets are currently on sale and can be purchased on The Intersection's website.

Formed in Jamaica in the late 1960s, The Wailers are one of the most successful reggae bands of all time, selling over 250 million albums. The band will be performing their new song, A Step for Mankind, which was writing to benefit the United Nations' World Food Programme.

Tour proceeds will also go toward the I Went Hungry Campaign, which works in collaboration with the United Nations' World Food Programme to fight against child starvation. The Wailers have also enlisted the help of their fellow musicians to go hungry by donating a portion of their tour catering to the foundation. Currently more than 650,000 people have been fed.
