Artpark & Company announced Ziggy Marley, “Brightside Tour 2026,” is coming to Artpark’s Outdoor Amphitheater in Lewiston at 7 p.m. Saturday, July 11, with special guest J Boog.

Marley is a nine-time Grammy Award-winner, Emmy winner, musician, producer, activist and humanitarian who has cultivated a legendary career for close to 40 years. The eldest son of Bob and Rita Marley, he has hewed his own path as a musical pioneer, infusing the reggae genre with funk, blues, rock and other elements through mindful songcraft.

Equal parts master storyteller and motivational guide, Marley deftly explores issues from environmental awareness to self-empowerment, social injustice to political inequity, while returning again and again to the transformative power of love. And over the past 15 years with his own companies, Tuff Gong Worldwide and Ishti Music, Marley has complete control of his masters and publishing; alongside his charity URGE – benefiting the well-being of children in Jamaica, Africa and North America.

Born and raised on the West Coast and heavily influenced by his Polynesian upbringing, J Boog is one of the top reggae artists in recent years. Mentored by island reggae icon Fiji, he honed his craft early on, blending reggae with soulful melodies and a distinctive vocal style. A chance encounter with Yami Bolo and Gramps Morgan led him to Jamaica, where he worked in the historical studios of Bob Marley, Don Corleon, Bobby Digital, Shaggy and Sugar Minott – an experience that deepened his connection to reggae’s rich history and the islands’ culture.

This performance is presented by Artpark & Company.
