The Burnin' Tour was a concert tour organised to support the album "Burnin'" by Bob Marley & The Wailers (Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Joe Higgs).

The tour began in Homestead, Florida, in mid October 1973, and ended in Northampton, England, in late November. Bunny Wailer, who already hadn't participated in the Catch a Fire Tour, was replaced by Joe Higgs. The first four shows of the second tour leg in England had been cancelled due to illness of Tosh. The tour ended in Northampton, England, the rest of the tour was cancelled due to heavy snow falls.

etlist

Unlike later tours and although little is publicly known yet about the concert setlists of the Burnin' Tour, the setlist varied on almost every show, but some factors became more standard in comparison with the previous Catch a Fire Tour. What can be said from the known recordings is that:
* all shows included one or two songs by Peter Tosh ("Stop That Train" and/or "Can't Blame The Youth"), played in the middle of the set.
* songs like "Rastaman Chant", "Duppy Conqueror", "Slave Driver", "Burnin' And Lootin'" or "Bend Down Low" were rather played in the first part of the set when performed.
* songs like "Get Up, Stand Up", "Kinky Reggae", "Stir It Up" and "Lively Up Yourself" were rather played towards the end of the set or as encores when performed.
* some shows featured also songs prior to 1973 ("Rude Boy", "Lively Up Yourself", "Bend Down Low").
