Jamie Foxx, Chris Brown frontrunners to headline 2012 Music Fest!
Speaking on the condition of anonymity, a source close to the organization stated that the Committee was dissolved and the old members are awaiting the return of Premier Dr. D. Orlando Smith to hold discussions and after that a new Committee will be formed.
“The Committee was set up in a way that after three years new election would have to be held. That’s the protocol,” the source explained. “And I think the former president Daniel Cline along with Al Henley and Carnel Cline will be the ones who will be speaking with the Premier.”
However, despite the defunct group, plans are already underway to secure the services of a new promoter, who is expected to bring some exciting artistes for the three-day musical extravaganza held in Cane Garden Bay.
“The promoter has a lot of connections and two of the names floating around are Jamie Foxx and Chris Brown. Either of those guys with their sex appeal will draw a large crowd like what Trey Songz did last year,” the source revealed, and added that by the end of February the public will have a good idea of the plans.
This will be the 12th year for the event which has seen the likes of En Vougue, the late Lucky Dube, Roberta Flax, Luciano, Wyclef and Damian ‘Gong’ Marley, among others.
Over the years, Government, BVI Tourist Board, Road Town Wholesale and LIME have been the major sponsors.
