This would be a SOLID 5 star review if it weren't for numerous (literally DOZENS) of technical screwups and sound issues for this show. This review is of the 2019 version of this show. We’d all love to Wang Chung every single night, but apparently they’re only able to do it on select occasions.GREAT ARTISTS AND LINEUP, HORRIBLE SOUND GUYS AND TECHNICAL TEAM A handful of concerts will also have Bow Wow Wow and Wang Chung on the bill.
