For years, it was one of the hottest tickets in the Caribbean: the Curacao North Sea Jazz Festival, the summertime music extravaganza that always attracted a who’s who of stars, from Bruno Mars to Sting to Pitfall. 

Now, five years since it was held for the last time, the Curacao North Sea Jazz Festival is making a comeback, returning on August. 29. 

This year’s event will be headlined by Marc Anthony, Seal, Gladys Knight and Nile Rodgers, among others. 

“We are thrilled for the homecoming of thetenth edition of the Curaçao North Sea Jazz Festival. It’s been five years since the last celebration and we can not be more excited to welcome new and returning festival goers, music lovers and artists back to our beloved island for the best music, entertainment and endless fun,” said Hugo Clarinda, Curacao’s deputy director of tourism. 

The event comes as Curacao is seeing record-breaking tourist arrivals, a trend that began two summers ago. 

Our island has continued to set the tone for legendary festivals and in 2024 we plan to make this experience a memorable one for all,” he said. 

Tickets go on sale on April 1. For more visit the Curacao North Sea Jazz Festival.
