I OCTANE SPEAKS ABOUT BOTTLE THROWING INCIDENT IN WESTMORELAND



This past Sunday, I Octane performed at the Western Kite Festival alongside artists like Romain Virgo and Popcaan but walked off stage during the middle of his set which subsequently led to bottles being flung on stage by upset patrons.

Apparently there was only one functioning CD player which was very unusual for such a large event.  Having only one CD player led to quite a few technical difficulties.

According to I Octane,

"We talk to the crowd and try get dem sympathy and dem a enjoy themselves then this one CD player stop and the crowd started asking for it to be fixed.... You have some youth a record di ting and mi a ask dem fi dim the light so mi can see wah a gwaan inna di crowd.  Mi neva like the energy weh dem a come off wid.  Mi ask fi di dark segment and it seem like dem man ya have some personal vibe." 
"Me is a man weh nuh just walk off a stage so but the tone mi neva like it.  True dem vibe mi neva waan turn mi back and sup'm go gwaan.  Mi just seh to dem seh since unuh nuh waan hear wah mi a seh mi a seh unuh work then.  Di crowd get vex wid dem and start fling bottle."

This is not the first time a reggae show was hit with a barrage of bottles, it was just the other day when we reported a bottle throwing incident in Nigeria during Luciano's performance.
