Bob Marley Statue Returns To Jamaica Street As Liverpool Welcomes Back Cultural Icon

A seven-foot statue of Bob Marley has returned to Liverpool, bringing one of the world’s most recognisable cultural icons back to the heart of the city’s creative district.

The statue has been installed at the McKeown Rice Exhibition Space on Jamaica Street in the Baltic Triangle, where it is set to welcome visitors and celebrate the legacy of the legendary Jamaican musician.

Created by Liverpool-based artist Andrew Edwards, the sculpture pays tribute to Marley’s influence on music, culture and communities around the world.

Bob’s been jammin’ into position on the McKeown Rice Exhibition Space on Jamaica Street, and we’re so happy to have him back.

Andrew Edwards is already well known across Liverpool for creating some of the city’s most recognisable public artworks.

His work includes the popular Beatles statue on Liverpool’s Waterfront, which has become a major attraction for music fans visiting the city.

The artist also created the Muhammad Ali statue, which previously took centre stage at the McKeown Rice Exhibition Space in 2017.

The return of the Bob Marley sculpture continues the space’s tradition of showcasing artwork celebrating globally recognised figures with strong cultural connections.

The installation comes as the Baltic Triangle continues to grow as one of Liverpool’s leading creative neighbourhoods, with independent businesses, artwork, events and cultural projects helping shape the area.

The Bob Marley statue is expected to become another popular photo opportunity for visitors exploring Jamaica Street and the wider Baltic Triangle.

Known for songs including One Love, Three Little Birds and Redemption Song, Bob Marley remains one of the most influential musicians of all time, with his message of peace, unity and social change continuing to inspire generations.

The statue’s return gives Liverpool residents and visitors another reason to explore one of the city’s most creative areas while celebrating the work of a local artist and the legacy of a global music icon.
