History was made at Forest Hills Stadium in Queens, New York, on June 27 when KestheBand performed to a sold-out crowd at the 13,000-capacity venue as part of its ‘Roots, Rock, Soca’ tour. The concert marked a significant milestone for the Trinbagonian group and for soca music at one of New York’s most established concert venues.

The venue has previously hosted major acts including The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Diana Ross and The Police.

Following a pre-show hosted by Trinbagonian media personality Jason ‘JW’ Williams, with a DJ playing soca favourites for the crowd, KestheBand took the stage for a two-hour performance.
