He invited the only gospel artiste for the night, J Cee, to grace the stage with songs titled Nah Fi Run and No. Alfray, Massie Pearl and GB also performed and made their presence felt. However, Sparkles was the first artiste for the night to get the crowd roaring with Inna Mi Thing and Money Bag.

Mixing Lab captivated the crowd with his talent, using his mouth to mix several popular rhythms. Versatile, with Dem Can't Cross De Line, preceded Junie Platinum, who had a very energetic set with Judgement Yard, Politician A Liad and Thief and Forty and Over.

However, Kashew Man got several forwards performing in front of his home crowd, as he did Mama Love, Nothing Naa Gwan, Double Love and Confuse Love.

When Nesbeth touched the stage at 12:49 a.m., he ignited the crowd with Board House. The ladies screamed louder when Empress joined him for Real Love. Captain Barky and Wickerman did their regular high-energy performance before Paul Elliot took things down on a conscious note.

Lady G, Shane O and Chuck Fender also the delighted the crowd before Beenie Man made a cameo appearance at 2 a.m. and called on Beetle Bailey, who had the audience cheering as he showed off his dancing skills while performing Ital Stew, When You Ras and Hail Up.

Monster Shack's performance which started at 3 a.m. had the crowd cheering as they did Beenie Bigger than Bounty before doing Mr Tek it Back and Duppy Know Who fi Frighten" while lashing out at Bounty Killer.

Scare Dem also made their presence felt with songs like No Men To Mi Ears, More Money and Don't Run In.

It was Serious Times for Gyptian as he pleaded for No More *lo**shed before he was joined by Fantan Mojah, who lashed out against corruption during his performance.

RDX followed a 30-minute band change and had the crowd dancing with several dancing anthems.

Beenie Man introduced D'Angel at 4:10 a.m. and her stint included Blaze, Baby Daddy, Downtown Girl and Don't Hate which had the ladies shouting.

A sexy-looking D'Angel 'blazed' the stage at her estranged husband's show.

Mr Vegas and T.O.K made their entry and maintained the intensity before Turbulence and Sasha created waves in the crowd while doing songs like Natty Pon Di Front Line, We Got The Love, and Got What You Need.

Macka Diamond followed with her lyrical treatise on money before closing off with Hoola Hoop. Aidonia and Vybz Kartel followed before Anthony B came at 6 a.m.

At 6:10 a.m., promoter Beenie Man appeared on stage for his performance with the venue still packed. His performance was however cut short by the police who ended his set after 14 minutes.

Most if not all of the patrons were disappointed with Beenie Man's short set although they were treated with an entertaining line-up.
