Funk Fest

I attended the 5^th Annual Funk Fest last Saturday, 10/​14/​2014. It was held for the first time at the Raymond James Stadium in Tampa. It was advertised that the show was to start at 4pm. My friends and I arrived at 4pm and the first act for the day was already on stage performing their 3^rd song. That already annoyed. Then the way that the concert was set up, the sun was beaming on the right side of our faces for hours until the sun finally went down. The performances were great for th most part (Silk, Christopher Williams, Fantasia, and Jill Scott). I didn’t see 112 b/​c they were the act that was on stage when we go there and the line to get in was soooo long that by the time we finally got through the gates, they were off the stage. Bobby Brown & Johnny Gill were supposed to perform, but who know what happened to them because they never came on. I think the breaks between the different performers need to be shortened b/​c by the time Jill Scott stepped on stage it after 10pm and by that time I was exhausted! I didn’t even stay for her entire performance and she was the reason I went to the concert in the first place.
We had resereved seating, which put us a little close to the stage than the general section. I would recommend to anyone that plans to attend this event, that they get no less than reserved to actually see the stage. However, the reserved section chairs are tied together so you are sitting almost on top of one another and cant move your arms. If I ever decide to attend this event again, I would definitely pay more to get a table. One of the good things about the event besides the performances, is the food was great!
