Countdown to Chris Brown Concert begins

The countdown has begun as the first batch of advance crew arrived on Friday, and a second, including the production manager for Chris Brown arrives Saturday, ahead of the international ‘A’ list superstar with some other backstage crew to join in the construction of the stage and lighting rigs.

They are going to help ensure that everything is on point to accommodate the star and his high energy electrifying dancers with whom he will be performing at the rlg sponsored Hope City Launch Celebration concert he is headlining on Tuesday March 5 at the Accra Sports Stadium in Accra.

The stadium is set to boom with over 2000 Watts of powerful sound as Chris Brown – himself is a stickler for giving electrifyingly pleasing performances – promises to give his fans in Ghana a right riveting thrill in a performance that will be spectacular as well as historic!

The show, he promises, will be heavy on dancing and audience participation.

People, who are skeptical about attending such a huge outdoor concert at the stadium, which gives the ultimate concert experience, fearing attacks by hoodlums, are being assured by the organizers to expect improved organizational technique and strategies which is aimed to give them a comfortable and secure ambiance to enjoy themselves.

The producers of the show promise that every patron, whether they were in the popular stand or in the VIP area set on the grounds in front of the stage, gets a great experience.

Event Director of event management firm Charterhouse, who has been tasked by promoters rlg to produce a world-class show, Mrs. Theresa Ayoade says they are now on ‘overdrive’, working hard to create a “Madison Garden effect using intelligent lighting, and great sound, and stage design to give patrons a fantastic evening out.”

The excitement is rising, and the buzz in town is incredible. "Everyone has to be part of this history. Everyone should be able to say, I was there at the stadium when Chris Brown came to Ghana, and my, what a great experience it was!" said an excited Chris Brown fan, who says can't wait for next Tuesday.

The mega concert comes off on Tuesday March 5 and will also feature local supporting acts including R2Bees, Efya, Samini, D-Black and Sherifa Gunu.

“Expect show stopping surprises!” organizers assure fans, and urge them not to miss out on what is expected to be a fantastic concert from the man popularly known as Chris Breezy.
