Aruba Gears Up For Legendary Music in October

The island where happiness lives will turn into the island where music lives this Columbus Day weekend on October 2005, as Aruba gears up to host the biggest music names in the world at the Fourth Annual Aruba Music Festival.

Aruba will welcome world-famous rock legends Queen plus Paul Rodgers on October 8, as the island turns into a rock and roll paradise. Aruba is the idyllic backdrop for this musical powerhouse as they take the stage at the Aruba Entertainment Center this year.

One of world´s most formidable musical acts of all time, Queen, brings a fresh addition to its lineup, with one of rock´s most respected singer-songwriters, Paul Rodgers, formerly of Free, Bad Company and The Firm.

For over three decades, Queen has been renowned as one of the most famous bands in the world for its over-the-top stage shows and, more importantly, its legendary rock mega hits.

Each year the Aruba Music Festival serves up a weekend of world-class music and, of course, the added bonus of unmatched sun and fun on Aruba´s famous white-sand shores.

The Aruba Music Festival, now in its fourth year, continues to grow in popularity and international notoriety and this year´s unbelievable lineup is sure to satisfy music aficionados of all ages.

“We are thrilled to be hosting the Fourth Annual Aruba Music Festival and the star-studded line-up of music legends,” said Minister of Tourism and Transportation Edison Briesen.

Last year´s Aruba Music Festival brought singer/songwriting legend Jackson Browne and pop music star John Mayer to the stage for a weekend of fantastic rock and roll. With world renowned musical talent like the unforgettable sounds of Queen plus Paul Rodgers, the 2005 Aruba Music Festival is destined to be a Caribbean crowd-pleaser.
