Styx, Lionel Richie to Headline Star-Studded Fifth Annual Aruba Music Festival

Aruba is gearing up to host an extraordinary lineup for this year´s Fifth Annual Aruba Music Festival, featuring rock legends, Styx (October 6) and Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter, Lionel Richie (October 7).

For two days, sunbathers will not only get the opportunity to bask in the near-perfect weather, enjoy an endless roster of fun to-dos, and meet some of the friendliest people in the Caribbean, but also rock out to Styx and groove to unforgettable sounds from Lionel Richie.

Columbus Day weekend in Aruba is the ideal tropical backdrop for these two incredible performances at the Aruba Entertainment Center, which will once again turn the island into a music lover´s paradise.

“With the amazing lineup of performers and legends at this year´s Fifth Annual Aruba Music Festival, we are looking forward to an unforgettable weekend,” said Minister of Tourism and Transportation, Edison Briesen. “For five years the Aruba Music Festival has been an extremely successful event and each year the stellar production wows the crowd of visitors and locals.”

Primary host hotels for the Fifth Annual Aruba Music Festival are Renaissance Aruba Resort & Casino, Radisson Aruba Resort & Casino, Aruba Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino, and the Occidental Grand Aruba Resort & Casino.
