“Due to the current financial crisis and other factors, the CDC has expressed their willingness to allow the WVP Team to stage the Melting Pot show”, Chairman of the CDC, Vaughn Walter said. “Upon being informed of the position, our persistent desire to enhance the quality of Antigua’s Carnival propelled us to step up to the plate and come to a workable arrangement with the CDC for the successful staging of the event, which has become a favourite of the Carnival season for many”, principal of the Promotions team, Nelisa Spencer said. “The CDC is pleased at the initiative taken by Wadadli Vibes Promotions and we are excited about the lineup. The CDC fully endorses and supports the event and we are looking forward to an exciting show”, the Chairman said.

The show will also feature some local artistes and bands like Taxik, Tonik, Chezekake Factory and Burning Flames. MCs for the night will be Zugu from Zugulus Movements and Power 100.1 and Ibis the livest from Vybz FM and the house DJs will be DJ Charlie and DJ Jay.
