The stage was professionally put up with a creative backdrop. Add the fantastic lighting and quality sound, and that just amped the whole event. DJs Mo and Sadic kept the music flowing to wild cheers from a packed hall that could easily have topped 10 thousand. Infact, organizers had to shut out thousands more as the hall had already reached capacity.

We're not sure if it was excitement for being the select few that managed to get into the hall, or being on live TV or the countdown to the new years, but there was a marked energy in the crowd through out the entire event. Pictures can tell a thousand words so check out the pics to get a feel of what we could describe on paper the web.
