Eight-piece reggae band The Marley Experience recreates the hits of Bob Marley & The Wailers at The Drill.
The Marley Experience play The Drill on Saturday 20 February 2027, a date rescheduled from 29 August 2026. They're an eight-piece Midlands band led by vocalist Lionart, whose voice closely resembles that of Bob Marley. The show recreates Marley's hits and classic album tracks, including 'Three Little Birds', 'I Shot The Sheriff', 'Is This Love', 'No Woman No Cry', 'Kinky Reggae' and 'Punky Reggae Party'.
Lionart has a proper reggae background to draw from. He's performed alongside Dawn Penn, Erroll Dunkley and David Rodigan, fronted the Friendly Fire Band and the Roots Ambassadors, and played trumpet for Natural Mystic. The full eight-piece band builds around that, so it's a full sound rather than a stripped-back tribute. The setlist pulls from the songs most people know and the deeper album cuts, with the big ones like 'No Woman No Cry' and 'I Shot The Sheriff' right in the mix.
