The iconic hitmakers have been announced as part of the St. Lucia Jazz and Arts Festival, running April 30 to May 10, with the songstresses set to headline the festival’s final event, The Ultimate Celebration, on Sunday, May 10. The reveal was made by Chairman of the St. Lucia Tourism Authority, Thaddeus M. Antoine, during a media engagement at Sandals Regency, instantly igniting excitement across the island and beyond.

Following their successful joint tour of the United States, Brandy and Monica are adding St. Lucia to their list of international stops, bringing one of R&B’s most beloved collaborations to the Caribbean. The tour, which celebrates their timeless catalog and historic partnership, has been selling out venues and drawing rave reviews, proving that the queens of ’90s and 2000s R&B still command the global stage.

Their appearance is set to be one of the festival’s biggest moments, as fans can expect a night filled with chart-topping hits, powerful vocals, and undeniable nostalgia, all against the backdrop of St. Lucia’s world-class scenery.

The May 10 grand finale is shaping up to be a showstopper, with Brandy and Monica sharing the spotlight with an all-star lineup that includes Billy Ocean, Beverley Knight, and Mervin Wilkinson and Friends. The night promises a rich mix of R&B, soul, jazz and Caribbean rhythms, delivering a fitting close to one of the region’s most anticipated festivals.

Adding to the excitement, organizers have announced that early bird tickets are now available at 10% off, giving music lovers a limited time to secure their spot at a discounted rate.

The St. Lucia Jazz and Arts Festival continues to build its reputation as a premier cultural event, bringing together international icons, regional favourites, and local talent across multiple stages over 11 days. The festival also celebrates art, fashion and culture, making it a cornerstone of St. Lucia’s entertainment and tourism calendar.

With Brandy and Monica now officially on board, expectations are soaring for a festival edition that promises star power and unforgettable performances, all culminating in a grand finale already being billed as unmissable.
