2016 saw the 5th Anniversary of Fresh Island Festival in Croatia and of course Distract TV were there enjoying the fun!
Day 1 saw Wiz Khalifa take the crowd by storm at Papaya. The laid back rapper bounced around the stage with huge inflatable spliffs bobbing around the crowd! Performing some of his greatest hits ‘Black and Yellow’ and ‘We Dem Boyz’.
Ty Dolla Sign also hit the stage preforming his hit singles and surprising us when he got out his electric guitar! Great Set!
Day 2 was a more chilled night, everyone showed up slightly later obviously extremely hung over from the night before. Club Aqurious was the spot that night until the storm hit! Lol Tropical rain like I’ve never seen before soaked us all for a good 20-25mins. The rain was so bad organisers had to move the set to the inside section of the club! Anywhoo once that was all sorted we all got down to DJ Premiers old school hiphop tunes!
Day 3 was loads of fun Tim Westwood held an amazing pool party playing the best in Trap, Hip hop, bashment and afrobeats!
Later on it was time for Chris Brown to hit the main stage and perform to around 10,000 fans. The set was pushed earlier due to the storm forecasted. Fans waited patiently for over an hour whilst a Breezy/MJ wannabe entertained the crowd.
The wind started to pick up, no where near as bad as the day before in my opinion however just when we thought CB was coming out we were told ‘Chris Brown won’t be performing due to the storm and you must leave for our own safety’. Everyone especially the ladies were pretty p*** off. Hundreds of people made their ways back to the their hotels including myself! After finally getting reception once out of the crowd I receive a message saying CB was performing at Aqurious nightclub! Ahh missed it but from what I heard it was a real struggle to get in and pretty cramped on the inside but I’m sure Breezy done his thing!
