Romanian reggae band El Negro will be the opening act.
The set-list will include some of Marley's best known hits, such as "I Shot the Sheriff", "No Woman, No Cry", "Could You Be Loved", "Stir It Up", "Redemption Song", "One Love".
The Wailers, founded in 1969 by Marley, helped bring reggae music into the mainstream.

Over the span of 40 years, The Wailers have sold over 250 million albums worldwide. Their compilation album "The Legend" is the only diamond certified record in reggae music history, and it is the best selling reggae record of all time, with over 20 millions copies sold.
The Bucharest concert, set to take place at the Sala Palatului concert hall, is organized by King Size Production and Bring the Noise.
