EARLVILLE – Ladies and gentlemen, get ready to experience the iconic sound of The Wailers live in concert at Earlville Opera House.

The legendary reggae band hit the road on an international tour that kicked off this April.

This is your chance to witness the magic of their timeless classics right here in the United States in Central New York at the historic Earlville Opera House on Friday, September 1 at 7 p.m. Come groove to incredible cuts from Bob Marley's vast and unforgettable repertoire.

Start your Labor Day weekend right with these music sensations and join us for a pre-show party bash from 4-6 p.m. (party tickets sold separately from show tickets, must be 21). Bash tickets include a commemorative Wailers tumbler, beads, two free drink tickets, music by The Laughing Buddha Episodes, beer provided by Bullthistle Brewery and Good Nature Farms Brewery, Jamaican and Caribbean inspired food catered by Bolzy's Catering, special event ice cream by Gilligan's, and themed cupcakes by K&K Pizzeria. You can enjoy yourself with a backdrop picture, mingling, activities, and dancing in preparation for the show.

Under the guidance of Aston Barrett Jr, The Wailers continue to preserve the legacy of their iconic sound, and they're bringing their A-game to the stage for this tour. The addition of Mitchell Brunings, a talented vocalist with a soulful voice and powerful stage presence, has only added to the band's already electrifying live shows.

The Wailers are also working on a new album, which is set to be released in the second half of 2023. Produced by the legendary Emilio Estefan, the album promises to be a fresh take on the band's classic sound, with new songs that are sure to become instant classics.

In 2020, The Wailers made a comeback with their new album, "One World", which earned a 2021 Grammy nomination for Best Reggae Album.
