Reggae Sumfest International Night One has been tagged the biggest Friday night in recent years.
"We feel Shabba Ranks and the TreySongz combination was the drawing card," says Johnny Gourzong, executive director of the 20th anniversary festival.
Fifty per cent of the crowd were youngsters who came out to see TreySongz who has been getting tremendous response since the announcement went out that he would be performing on the festival, said Gourzong.
He said the other 50 per cent flocked the Catherine Hall venue because of Shabba Ranks and the likes of Tarrus Riley.
International Night One also paid tribute to a host of Jamaica 50 Legends.
The group comprised Derrick Harriott, John Holt. Uroy, Leroy Smart, Pinchers and Frankie Paul.
