Hong Kong boy band Mirror among stars to perform at Kai Tak Sports Park test event
By Wynna Wong
Hong Kong Cantopop boy band Mirror will join a raft of stars performing to a crowd of 5,500 people at Kai Tak Sports Park on Friday for a test event to gauge how smoothly staff can disperse concert crowds and the impact on the local neighbourhood.
The “FWD Presents: Chill Music Festival” will take place at the indoor Kai Tak Arena and feature a star-studded line-up that includes Mirror, Cantopop girl group Collar, and various Thai performers such as Scrubb, Serious Bacon, Atlas, D Gerrard, 4Eve, Jeff Satur and Bowkylion.
Commissioner for Sports George Tsoi Kin-pan said on Wednesday that 5,500 spectators would take part in the coming test event. The arena has seating space for up to 10,000 people.
“The overall configuration between sports events and concert events is completely different,” he said. “For concert events, it involves more set-ups, the stage arrangement, which we did not have during the sports events, there are also rehearsals we are going to test for the concert events.”
“Apart from the above, the spectators’ arrival and dispersal patterns of concert events are quite different from typical sports events,” Tsoi said.
He added that the concert, which will start at 6.30pm, would open venue doors at 4.30pm.
