Hot off the heels of the biopic One Love, the new collection aims to continue honoring Marley’s legacy with an officially-licensed collaboration. Unlike your typical beach towels and picnic blankets, the Marley collection spotlights patterns inspired by the “Three Little Birds” singer while also utilizing iconic pictures and motifs from the reggae icon’s legendary career.

Expect sand-resistant materials and oversized lengths that are perfect for laying out with friends or solo park hangs. There’s plenty of room to lay out on, with enough room leftover to place your portable cooler or latest musician memoir.

To help you pick out the best of the Slowtide x Bob Marley collection, ShopBillboard put together a few of the most popular styles below.

Kaya Performance Quick-Dry Travel Towel

Consider the Kaya Performance towel part of your travel necessities as it’s made with quick-drying materials and rolls up easily. This towel features a black and white photo of Marley paired with the singer’s logo. You can lay it out on the ground or use it to dry off after a dip in the water.

Trenchtown Beach Towel

The Trenchtown Beach Towel brings a pop of color with a geometric border with vibrant shades of green, orange and yellow. What’ll draw eyes the most though is the photo of the singer on stage, telling everyone who your favorite artist is. Sand will also easily flick off thanks to the sand-resistant material it’s made with.

Judah Tapestry Blanket

Sprawl out in comfort with this oversized tapestry blanket. It’s made with a washable material allowing it to double as a throw or picnic blanket. The center also features the Marley logo including the iconic lion for extra style.

Natural Mystic Throw Blanket

Avoid getting grass stains on your clothes by using this large throw blanket. It comes with a frayed knotted hem and eye-catching striped pattern on a dark black background. Since it’s made with an oversized design, you can share it with a friend. It’s great for picnics and camping trips alike.

Natural Mystic Changing Poncho

This Natural Mystic Poncho aims to make quick changes at the beach practically a breeze. Thanks to the hidden internal access opening you can change out of wet bathing suits and vice-versa in public. You can also take advantage of the kangaroo-style front pocket for storing your phone and wallet while the attached hood provides warmth when the temps drop.

The musician’s daughter Cedella Marley, is the CEO of the Bob Marley group of Companies and was excited to collaborate with Slowtide on the collection.

“Teaming up with Slowtide echoes my father’s message of unity and harmony, resonating deeply with his global audience,” Marley said in a press statement. “This collaboration merges Bob Marley’s uplifting music with the joy and togetherness it brings. Excited to create summer memories with my family in this collection!”

“Rebel Girl: My Life as a Feminist Punk” by Kathleen Hanna

$26.99

$29.99

Hanna joins the growing list of female musician memoirs as the “Oh Come On” singer aims to bring her unfiltered personality to page. The bold vibrant cover art just gives a taste of what fans can expect when they read the book. Per the publisher description, the 336-page book “takes us from her tumul­tuous childhood to her formative college years and her first shows. As Hanna makes clear, being in a punk ‘girl band’ in those years was not a simple or safe prospect.”

Throughout the ’90s, Hanna gained attention for her “personal yet feminist lyrics on anthems like ‘Rebel Girl’ and ‘Double Dare Ya,’” according to the official book description. Even today, her influence can be felt as her feminist anthems continue acting as a voice of change.

Now, you’ll be able to hear from her perspective as she recounts everything from her friendships with other iconic artists like Kurt Cobain, Ian MacKaye, Kim Gordon and Joan Jett as well as falling in love with Ad-Rock of the Beastie Boys and her battle with Lyme disease.

Travis Kelce Joins Cast of Ryan Murphy’s TV Series ‘Grotesquerie’

Travis Kelce is joining the Ryan Murphy cinematic universe. The Kansas City Chiefs star has been cast in the American Horror Story creator’s latest production, Grotesquerie, starring Niecy Nash-Betts — and he’s already spent his first day on set.

Very little is known about the upcoming FX series, much less about Kelce’s character, but, Murphy did post an audio teaser for Grotesquerie in February featuring Nash-Betts’ distressed voice on a phone speaker describing a disturbing crime scene. He also confirmed that the project is a “horror drama” that’s set to premiere this fall.

Plus, Nash-Betts shared a few behind-the-scenes clips from her time on set with Kelce via Instagram on Wednesday. In one video, she hangs out with the tight end in a dressing room and says excitedly, “Guys, guess who I’m working with on Grotesquerie?”

Trending on Billboard

Kelce then comes into frame and says, “Jumping into new territory with Niecy!” He also reposted the video onto his Story and wrote, “Steppin into a new world with one of the legends!”

In another clip posted to the Emmy winner’s Story, she and the New Heights podcaster appear to be filming a scene in a sleek red convertible. Laughing, Kelce holds a peace sign up to the camera and says, “Buckle up!”

A third video finds the football player hugging Murphy between takes. “I’m just glad I didn’t hurt nobody,” he tells Nash-Betts, smiling into the camera.

The news comes shortly after Prime Video confirmed that Kelce is slated to host its upcoming game show Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?, a spin-off of Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader? “I grew up loving game shows, and I’m excited to be following in the footsteps of so many TV icons,” he said in a statement about the series, which will feature contestants using celebrities to help with 11 elementary-school-level questions as they compete to win $100,000.

Kelce’s recent influx in entertainment gigs doesn’t mean he’s planning on slowing down his football career any time soon, though. The athlete also recently re-signed with the Chiefs, inking a two-year extension deal that will make him the highest-paid tight end in the NFL — meaning fans can all but count on two more seasons’ worth of Taylor Swift appearances at Arrowhead Stadium.

According to a press release announcing the project on Wednesday (May 8), the feature documentary collaboration between Hello Sunshine and Good-People (Trainwreck: Woodstock ’99), will focus on the relationship between the group and the fan community by flipping the script on traditional concert films by celebrating “ENHYPEN’s fans (ENGENEs) and putting them at the heart of the concert creation process.”

The documentary will specifically follow five female fans as they co-create new material alongside the seven-man band, sparking the ENGENEs to “collaborate and revel in the joy of putting their passion out into the world.” The film will toggle between the fans and the band, using unprecedented, intimate access to the group on the U.S. dates of their FATE PLUS world tour.

The parallel band and fan paths of the new film will converge at the Galaxy Fanmade concert event, which took place on Tuesday night (May 7) at the AT&T Performing Arts Center in Dallas.

In a statement released with the news, Hello Sunshine’s head of unscripted Sara Rea said that the relationship between ENHYPEN and their fans makes for a particularly unique documentary creative experience. “The K-pop ecosphere embodies inclusivity in a way that is both inspiring and rich for storytelling. This heartfelt and joyful documentary showcases the beauty of coming together in a way that the world needs right now,” she said. “While we are accustomed to artists surprising audiences during their shows, watching these fans create unexpected and thoughtful experiences for the band is something we’ve never seen before.”

Kourtney Kardashian Opens Up About Emergency Fetal Surgery in New ‘The Kardashians’ Trailer: Watch

The upcoming fifth season of The Kardashians has been billed as showcasing Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker‘s “new baby bliss” following the birth of their first child together, a son named Rocky Thirteen, in November. But it’ll also document the reality star’s scary experience with emergency fetal surgery leading up to the big day, as revealed in a new trailer for the show.

Revealed Wednesday (May 8), the teaser features clips of Kourtney smooching the Blink-182 rocker, seemingly backstage at one of his concerts, and later enjoying what appears to be a Disney-themed baby shower with her husband during her pregnancy. “This is the best blessing in the world,” the Poosh founder says. “But it’s also a high-risk pregnancy.”

Later in the trailer, Kourtney is lying down in a hospital gown, holding what looks like Barker’s tattooed hand. “I had to go in for fetal surgery, which was terrifying,” she explains.

Trending on Billboard

Season five of The Kardashians premieres May 23 on Hulu, marking two years since the family dynasty switched over from its long-running reality show Keeping Up With the Kardashians on E!. The trailer also promises to explore matriarch Kris Jenner’s health struggles, Khloé Kardashian’s newfound independence post-split from Tristan Thompson, Kendall and Kylie Jenner’s time at fashion week and more.

The show won’t be the first time Kourtney has spoken about her emergency operation. She first revealed on Instagram in September that she’d underwent surgery, thanking her “incredible doctors for saving our baby’s life.”

At the time, Barker had dropped everything to return home from his world tour with Blink-182, which postponed three shows so that the drummer could be with Kourtney during the process. “I am eternally grateful to my husband who rushed to my side from tour to be with me in the hospital and take care of me afterwards, my rock,” she added in her post.
