Pop Artist Seal to Travel to Costa Rica for Imperial Fest.

The newest release from the organizers of the Imperial Festival 2008 confirmed that Babasonicos, Seal, Zoé and Café Tacvba will be playing at the two-day event on April 19 and 20. They join Duran Duran, Incubus, the Smashing Pumpkins and Enrique Iglesias.

This all-star international lineup is brought to you by the organizers of the event, La Cervezeria, brewers of Costa Rica’s favorite beer Imperial, and distributor of Heineken and Imperial to the country.

Tickets for the two days are being sold separately, starting at $20 per day up to $60 for VIP. The organizers claim that more than half of the 22,000 available tickets have already been purchased, so get your tickets soon! They are available online at specialticket.net.

On Saturday, the concert will open with Mexican group Café Tacuba, followed by Costa Ricans LePop, Argentinians Babasonicos, Incubus and Smashing Pumpkins.

Sunday night will see Mexican alternative rock group Zoé, followed by Costa Ricans Porpartes, british singer Seal, Enrique Iglesias and Duran Duran.

The marketing manager of the Cervecería explained that they are trying to appeal to all music fans with a diverse lineup ranging from pop to alternative rock. However, some fans think that the concert should remain principally a rock event and have started a petition to remove Enrique Iglesias from the lineup.
