The Tobago Jazz Festival[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] is a music festival held every summer at Plymouth in Trinidad and Tobago which according to the Tourism Minister attracted over 20,000 visitors to Tobago.

History

The Jazz Festival was first held in 2004 but it was postponed in 2009, as the 2008 show costed $50 million, but ticket sales only yielded $17 million. A new company sponsored the 2010 Jazz festival, which saw a line-up including Carlos Santana, Gloria Estefan, Celine Dion, Tina Turner and Neil Diamond[7]

2017 Jazz festival

Notable performers include Grace Jones, Shabba Ranks, and D’Angelo. Additionally, for the first time, a film component was added to the Festival, in collaboration with the T&T Film Festival.
