2024 VI Music Festival site in RT abuzz with preparation activities
The piece of land is being transformed with the erection of a stage, fence, and lights. On May 21, 2024 our roving camera noted many public sector agencies, including Public Works Department, BVI Electricity Corporation, and private contractors busy getting the grounds ready for the music festival.
The stage is being erected, along with electrical poles being planted, and water is expected to be made available, along with a perimeter fence around the compound.
The land is already levelled off and there is an asphalt pavement leading to the immediate roadway. While there was some controversy around having the music festival, the BVI Tourist Board, the event's main sponsor, is full speed ahead. It is our understanding that ticket sales are steady, and the excitement is in the air.
The normal critics
Controversial talk show host Rosemary L. Rosan aka 'Cindy', who spends all her time on radio criticising the Premier and Minister of Finance Dr the Honourable Natalio D. Wheatley (R7), has called for residents to boycott the event but has not given a reason.
Premier Wheatley noted that the event is going forward as it will bring much-needed attention to the Virgin Islands as part of the Tourism product, and will be a source of revenue.
The VI Music Festival has an impressive lineup including Nigerian American actor and singer Rotimi, international soca artist Voice, international dancehall/reggae artist Alkaline, R & B legend Freddie Jackson, along with many other local artists including the popular VIBE.

Not everybody is about party first anything else after
Cindy may indeed have a screw loose, but that doesn't mean that she's wrong in this instance. As for the "why," while I'm not a big fan of boycotts, they do send a message - and that needs to be done here.

With all the noise about this music fest, let's see if the same folks talking are going to be in attendance. Based on past experience, I'm sure many of the talkers will be in attendance. It makes absolutely no sense!
These guys have found new ways to extort us.
