The first-ever Vibe Fest Marianas last Friday at the Fiesta Resort & Spa Saipan’s beach side was a major success as the concert was able to sell out tickets on both general and VIP admissions.
Roil Soil Clothing owner Shayne Villanueva and AltrxEgo Entertainment CEO Ben Schiff both expressed their gratitude to Fiesta Resort for opening up the beach area to fit a huge crowd of over 100 spectators.
The event featured singers Jordan T, Bo Napoleon, Samu, Leah & Shannon, and the 4FOR4 band playing for the singers. Spectators were given a surprise as not only were they able to listen to each of the singers’ signature hits, but each had a piece to sing for the island of Saipan.
Schiff informed Saipan Tribune that VIP tickets sold out on the day of the concert, and that general admission tickets were still being sold on the door. Schiff said that AltrxEgo Entertainment is planning on making another and even bigger event, as one of their goals is to have a Saipan local band play along with the visiting talent.
“We are happy with the community’s support and belief in what we are doing, without the community, we would be nothing,” Villanueva said.
Schiff thanked the people of Saipan for their hospitality and making them feel like family, as it means a lot to the company and the singers. Jordan T told Saipan Tribune that during his last Vibe Fest performance in Guam, he was asking Schiff if they could have one done on Saipan.
Schiff said that the singers are asking about another concert in Saipan, as they loved the atmosphere and the people.
