Jazz & Blues Festival 2015







The renowned Jamaica Jazz and Blues festival at the Trelawny Stadium is ready to go today ! The much anticipated fest spans January 29th -31st where many exciting and promising acts will perform. The likes of international sensation Mariah Carey and the band behind the hit "Rude",MAGIC! along with the "Best Reggae Album" Grammy nominated Soja also join the interesting line-up that the festival promises this year.

 According to Jazz organizers, “Jamaica Jazz and Blues in 2015 is all about connecting patrons to their inner fun self via musical performances that inspire, uplifts and puts people in a good mood. That’s why we thought to sprinkle a bit of MAGIC! on the Festival!"



Jamaican favourites George Nooks,Richie Stephens,Morgan Heritage,Errol Dunkley and Johnny Clarke among others will also grace the three day thriller.



The 2015 staging is headlined by international diva, Mariah Carey who performs on Friday, January 30. If you were ever a true Mariah fan ,you'd probably be screaming one of her chart topping songs trying in earnest to hit those ceiling high notes right until you get to the concert to chime in with the world renowned songstress.



Throughout the years of the festival's existence,its performances have been well received and the production proves to be of world class standing.Thus patrons expect more and more each year, after all it is said the Jamaican crowd is among one of the hardest to please. That said, Mariah should recover well from her last big gig,if she manages to sway the 2015 Jazz and Blues crowd (no hate,we love Mariah) :)

Seven time Grammy nominee ,Charlie Wilson along with international reggae band SOJA, and MAGIC! also appear on Saturday January 31.

For general admission tickets, the price is US$80 for Thursday and Saturday, whilst Friday night is US$120.

General admission weekend passes are available for US$190 which allows entry on Friday and Saturday nights while the general season pass for all three nights is only US$270.

Single night VIP passes costs US$120 for Thursday and Saturday with Friday is priced at US $220 VIP weekend passes are being sold for US$330 with VIP season passes on sale for US$450.

Like last year, parking passes are on sale to VIP weekend and season ticket holders only at a cost of US$20

For one of the most anticipated musical events of the year ,it has shaped up nicely.If you've missed it this year ,next year is sure to be even more promising.
