The show started just after 8 pm with the band Divya, and ended at 4 am with the performance of Anil Bheem and his band "The Bheemas." Also playing were Dil-E-Nadan, SSL Melobugz, JMC 3Veni, Karma, and TTEC Gayatones. The Clico Shiv Shakti dancers performed a specially remixed Soca and Chutney soca with routines choreographed by Michael Salickram who also led the performance on stage.
