The fourth Tobago Jazz Festival begins on 25 April 2008 and looks set to be bigger than ever. The Caribbean’s newest music festival, held on the beautiful, un-spoilt island of Tobago, is already becoming the most anticipated and talked about festival in the West Indies.

Previous line-ups have included Sir Elton John, Gladys Knight, LL Cool J, India Arie, Stevie Wonder, Sting, Vanessa Williams and many more. This year’s artists will be equally high in calibre and come from a range of musical backgrounds to suit all tastes, including soul, swing, pop, and jazz.

Nova Alexander, Manager (UK, Ireland, Holland & Scandinavia), Tourism Development Company (TDC) of Trinidad & Tobago said: “Tobago is currently engaging with some of the world’s most prestigious musicians to secure them for the 2008 Tobago Jazz Festival. The beauty of Tobago, and the infectious enthusiasm for the event ensure that we are able to attract some of the greatest musicians to its shores to perform - and enjoy the idyllic island paradise, of course.”

The festival, which runs for three days in the picturesque fishing village of Plymouth, Tobago, will also feature a fireworks display and great hospitality from the Tobagonians. Performers, celebrity guests and patrons can be assured that each day will be filled with fantastic entertainment in ‘Clean, Green and Serene’ Tobago.
