Massive crowd attends Festival Glow Night with headliner Machel Montano
The 49-year-old Montano belted out some of his greatest hits, as well as songs of other Caribbean artistes, and certainly shifted gears for the 70th Virgin Islands Emancipation Festival.
The mammoth crowd responded positively and energetically to his solid performance and were even taken back to Montano's boyhood days when the Soca prodigy sang 'Deh Say I Too Young for Soca'. It was a song that put Montano into the international spotlight at a tender age.
Before Montano hit the stage, several bands had the task of gradually drawing the crowd, which had grown exponentially by the time VIBE took to the stage.
One of the crowd pleasers was local band OMG.

Benefits of starting earlier:
The filed will have an early and late crowd
Crowd Drinking all tgrough the night.
Crowd eating early and late
More relax service of food and drinks.
After event with in a reasonable time more drinking and eating.
Disadvantage of late performances;
Big crowd all at once rush for drinks
Some will be frustrated and just dont drink lines to long just enjoy the show
Long lines after event for food and drinks so late will just go home.
Booth owners can earn so much more Money it is a shame.
Also, no regsrd to the persons who are not attending and home trying to rest to go into work and the seniors who need that rest.
run talk that(almost forgot the public roads in a bad state of repair)
