Lacklustre Sting 2010
Richard Johnson
Tuesday, December 28, 2010
SOME blame the recession, the absence of Vybz Kartel and Mavado, Kartel's event in New Kingston, and a myriad of other factors; whatever it was, Sting, the much-anticipated 27-year-old music festival failed to hit the mark on Boxing Day.
Perhaps the greatest initial indicator that the event would fall short of previous years was the crowd support. By Sting standards, the huge Jamworld venue in Portmore St Catherine was empty, even after the midnight hour, when the event faithfuls would usually been seen streaming in to catch their favourite reggae and dancehall acts.

Mumma Saw 'walk out'.
Sizzla saves the night.
I-Octane in full flight.

Khago delivers.
