Final night time, the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam, identified for having one in all Europe’s cleanest reside sounds, received a style of reggae and dancehall earlier than diving into Pitbull’s Latin/80s-infused get together set. Mr Boombastic hit the stage because the official help act, backed by NYC crew RSNY and Shane “Frvnchyz” Hoosong.
It’s by no means straightforward to open for a headliner with such a definite fanbase, and final night time was no exception. The ocean of bald heads and moustaches within the crowd made it clear: these have been Pitbull individuals. However Shaggy’s power, catalogue, and presence managed to drag consideration ahead with this younger crowd, even by the thick stage haze that hung over the present.
Although it was a brief set, the chemistry on stage was strong. RSNY introduced the power, and Shaggy, ever the showman, dipped into classics with that very same charisma that’s stored him touring for many years.
