Line-up released for 2025 Saint Lucia Jazz & Arts Festival

The programming spans different genres of music across six nights and is set to attract thousands of visitors from around the world. The iconic and historic Pigeon Island National Park is the waterside backdrop for the open air performances with the Ramp at Rodney Bay hosting Pure Jazz.

 

“Our Jazz & Arts festival has been going strong for more than 30 years, thanks to the much sought after artists that we continue to collaborate with. Visitors come from all around the world to enjoy the lineup along with the warm hospitality of our people and the stunning setting of Saint Lucia. 2025 sees us build on the wonderful art component that we reintroduced as well as the hugely successful music programming with global and local artists from jazz and gospel to reggae and pop and now country music.” said Minister of Tourism, Hon. Dr. Ernest Hilaire.
