The Wailers, whom we have been working with for over 16 years and that headlined Victoria Ska & Reggae Festival in 2022, are coming back to Victoria BC, Canada on Thursday, September 18, 2025. For the first time we will be presenting this show at Royal Athletic Park in the City of Victoria! This all ages/licensed event will be one of the most anticipated outdoor events this year and we're excited to offer this family concert to Vancouver Island and beyond. For this show The Wailers will be featuring the 30th anniversary of their acclaimed compilation album, Natural Mystic: The Legend Lives On. Following the success of their 2024 tour which honored Bob Marley‘s legendary album Legend, The Wailers are set to bring the entirety of Natural Mystic to life on stage, offering fans a unique and immersive experience. Anticipate a full live rendition of Natural Mystic: The Legend Lives On, bringing its classic tracks to life on stage, alongside other classics and select tracks from the Grammy-nominated Evolution. This show promises a unique blend of nostalgia and contemporary reggae rhythms, making this show an unforgettable experience. Joining The Wailers for this unforgettable show is Caleb Hart & Friends. If you're a reggae fan from Western Canada you will have probably heard of Caleb Hart. Born in Trinidad and Tobago, but now settled in Victoria, Caleb is a musician and arts administrator singing lead vocals in his band Caleb Hart & Co. and his new project Sonic Alley. Through Caleb's vast musical connections he will be featuring some of the most talented and entertaining up and coming BC artists on this show. The " & Friends" part of his band include Nostic who is a Canadian/Peruvian MC and creator. Nostic shifts between Spanish and English effortlessly combining his raps with beatboxing and singing. Janelle Reid who is one of BC's most talented reggae and soul singers is another "Friend" of Caleb Hart's special ensemble. Janelle Reid was also born in Trinidad and Tobago and now makes Vancouver her home. In an article written by Steve Newton of Ear of the Newt in 2021 she explained "I learned to sing before I spoke so technically, I’ve always been singing. I wasn’t much of a talker as a baby, really, but I sang, and so singing was my way of talking." Janelle sings with Vancouver's Mad Riddim and makes guest appearances with other bands while juggling her solo career. Rounding out the Friends is Sofía Leónne, a soulful singer-songwriter from Guadalajara, Mexico now based on Vancouver Island. She'll be performing with El Slow Mo - a dynamic bilingual rapper from Mexico and Daniel Sar - a Colombian multi-instrumentalist. Together they are "The Trippycals" and we're happy to have them debut at this show!
