Description:
The Wailers ft. Aston Barrett Jr. will celebrate 50 Years of Positive Vibrations when they return to Montana in 2026 — performing at The ELM in Bozeman on April 14th and The Wilma in Missoula on April 15th.
This landmark tour honors the 50th anniversary of Rastaman Vibration, one of Bob Marley & The Wailers’ most influential albums and a defining moment in reggae history. Released in 1976, the record helped carry reggae’s messages of resistance, spirituality, and hope to a global audience, with enduring songs like “Positive Vibration,” “Roots, Rock, Reggae,” and “War” continuing to resonate across generations.
Led by Aston Barrett Jr., son of legendary bassist and founding member Aston “Familyman” Barrett, The Wailers proudly carry this legacy forward with authenticity and purpose. Joined by powerhouse vocalist Mitchell Brunings, the band delivers uplifting, soul-driven performances that honor the roots of reggae while keeping its message alive and relevant today.
Fans can expect a deeply moving live experience that blends select cuts from Rastaman Vibration, timeless Wailers classics, and moments that celebrate the band’s ongoing creative vitality. This anniversary tour is more than a concert — it’s a living tribute to music that has inspired unity, resilience, and positive change for five decades.
