(PR) The Festival International de Jazz de Montreal is extremely proud to offer their loyal fans another gorgeous gift as part of this 30th anniversary: a very special free outdoor concert by American music giant Stevie Wonder, in his first-ever visit to the Festival. Alain Simard has dreamt of the show for years, the programming team has regularly discussed it, and it's finally a reality! There's a palpable excitement in the air as we all eagerly await this Grand ιvιnement General Motors that's guaranteed to enter the history books! Stevie Wonder will literally launch the Festival's 30th anniversary celebrations when he opens the brand-new Place des Festivals this Tuesday, June 30 at 9:30 p.m. on the General Motors stage.
For this very special evening, giant screens will be deployed on other stages throughout the Festival site, transmitting the exceptional event live to what promises to be a monumental public gathering!
This musical gift to Montrealers is exclusively made possible thanks to the support of our three levels of government, particularly Industry Canada, as part of the effort to boost tourism to the city and contribute to the enhancement of its international profile.
