So­cadrome pa­trons who sat in the stands felt short­changed yes­ter­day, as the new Car­ni­val Tues­day lay­out left some of them with lim­it­ed to no view of the ac­tion at Port-of-Spain’s al­ter­na­tive mas stage.

The So­cadrome again at­tract­ed some of Car­ni­val’s most pop­u­lar bands, along with many of T&T’s most fa­mous faces, with Bri­an Lara, Dwight Yorke and Richard Thomp­son among those cross­ing the stage, which was lo­cat­ed be­tween the Jean Pierre Com­plex and the Hase­ly Craw­ford Sta­di­um.

Pa­trons al­so saw Pub­lic Util­i­ties Min­is­ter Bar­ry Padarath play­ing mas in Bliss, while Home­land Se­cu­ri­ty Min­is­ter Roger Alexan­der toured the venue with Po­lice Com­mis­sion­er Al­lis­ter Gue­var­ro and his se­nior of­fi­cers.
