With an advertised start time of 11am, gates STILL aren't open at Soca Brainwash. No explanation being given about the reason for the delay.
Gates at Patrice Roberts' concert at National Stadium still closed, after advertising an 8pm opening. No music playing inside. Lights on the stadium field appear to be off. Crowd building outside. No explanation so far.
