Crosby Stills & Nash and Chicago

Aruba's Second Annual Music Festival

This October, Aruba will host its second annual music festival, which will include performances by rock 'n roll hall of famers Crosby, Stills & Nash (CSN) and the American rock band Chicago. CSN will take the stage on the first night, Friday, October 10th and Chicago will perform on Saturday, October 11th.

"We are very excited about hosting the Aruba Music Festival for the second year in a row. We want the local community, as well as our American visitors, to enjoy their favorite rock groups. With its perfect weather and beautiful scenery, Aruba provides an ideal setting for this annual event," said Edison Briesen, Aruba's minister of tourism and transportation.

CSN is best known for their three-part harmony background. The only American band of the original Woodstock era, the group has often been referred to as "the voice of an entire generation." Some of their songs include Marrakesh Express, Helplessly Hoping, Dark Star and Just A Song Before I Go.

Chicago, the legendary rock 'n roll band with horns, has written, recorded, and performed some of the most popular and best loved songs in rock history. "Saturday In The Park," "25 or 6 to 4," "If You Leave Me Now," and "Hard Habit To Break" are just some of the many hits they have had in their Grammy-winning 36-year career.  Through it all, they have remained a working band, releasing 27 albums and touring on a continual basis.

General admission tickets for each night cost $35 and VIP tickets are also available for $50 each night.
