The summer tour will include concert dates in the United States, Japan, Australia and the Pacific Rim.

The Barbados Stage, sponsored by the island of Barbados, will feature Barbados’ greatest stars including David Kirton, Arturo Tappin, and Biggie Irie. Barbados is using the tour in general and the stage in particular as a way to promote tourism and Bajan culture. It marks the most extensive tourism promotion the island has ever done via music, food and culture.

Between the Unity and Barbados Stages, there will be constant music from when the doors open at 1:30 p.m. until the concert’s conclusion at 8:00 p.m.

These two stages will be vibrant additions to the Spirit of Unity Village, which will host a hemp exhibit, island cuisine, CD one-stop, and Barbados booth which conveys the elements of the beautiful Bajan lifestyle, their culture, food and music. The hemp exhibition will demonstrate the many uses and solutions of hemp. The food vendors will sell island cuisine including jerk chicken, exotic curries, patties and plantains.
