International artistes Diana Ross and Rod Stewart are among the headline acts who are scheduled to perform on the final night of the 2008 Plymouth Jazz Festival Tobago on April 27. A third international artiste is expected to be named as soon as a contract is signed.
Jill Scott, Shakira and Steel Pulse are among the other top acts, according to CL Communications CEO Tony Maharaj.
The festival will be held from April 25 to 27 at the scenic Plymouth Recreation Ground in northwest Tobago, Maharaj said at a media briefing at Hilton Tobago, hosted by the sponsors and the Tobago House of Assembly.
Artistes who have already signed contracts to appear on April 25 are Peabo Bryson, James Ingram, Smokey Robinson and Scott. Among the foreign artistes who will appear on April 26 are Steel Pulse, Shakira and En Vogue.
Maharaj said negotiations were taking place with other artistes but he was not at liberty to disclose their names, since contracts first had to be signed. He added that the local artistes already signed up included Image, Roy Cape and the Woodbrook Playboyz Steelband.
