Tour Announcement: Burning Spear Live Sessions — Spring 2026

It’s been a while. Winston Rodney — the man, the voice, the institution that is Burning Spear — has confirmed an eight-date intimate-venue tour for Spring 2026. Eight cities, eight nights, full live band, no opening act. The man himself, the riddim, and three hours of music every show.

The setlist
No spoilers, but expect the foundational catalogue: Marcus Garvey, Slavery Days, Columbus, Door Peep, plus selections from the post-2000 albums. The current touring band has been with Winston for almost a decade — tight, patient, and unafraid to stretch a groove out for ten minutes when it calls for it.
