It was so empty. I expect more people. Music was okay. The Banda was okay and the DJ in the beginning was good. Wouldn’t go again.
Maybe 2 or 3 bandas playing not just Dj playing random music
The space was too small considering the type of dancing required space to dance around. Being consistently bumped was annoying. Sometimes no space trying to get to the bathroom so I had to shove people out of the watch since they were blocking walkways.
It was fun to dance but it was very crowded and hot. I was sweating pretty bad in the venue. The banda was okay but seemed to repeat the same songs but still made the most of it and danced the night away
This was a great night, lots of dancing, chatting and overall a good time
Everything was great. My wife and I had a great time.
The sound was terrible. As a musician and sound engineer, I can tell you that it was bad. I didn't like the DJ's selection of music to much reggaeton , supposed to be Banda world, the banda was unknown, bring local bands from the city I left after the band's 3rd song.
There were so many people there it was suffocating. The dance floor was packed and there was a bunch of teens smoking and causing trouble.I think they oversold this event for the venue provided.
First of all, there were WAY too many people. There was no room to dance or even move at all. The venue was absolutely packed to the max. The event was 18+ so a majority of the crowd were a bunch of 18 year olds who didn’t know how to act, were pushing and shoving people and they were just all around completely obnoxious. These events would be a lot more fun if they held an event that was strictly 21+. Ended up leaving about an hour in because the environment was completely insufferable. Absolutely hated everything about the event and the experience. 0/10 would recommend!!!! If I could give 0 stars I would.
Although the 1 Banda that played was amazing!!! I expected there to be more bandas playing. If you are gonna call your event "Banda World" give us that experience! Promotors didnt do a great job, not much of a crowd that day. Drinks were waaay over priced and so were the VIP areas. $200 for just a table for 4?! And spent almost $300 more for drinks and could only have 4 people in 1 table?! Thats crazy! You could have had this event at a smaller club, didnt need to hype it up to be this amazing concert type experience when it wasnt! But I would go see the Banda again if they arent at Banda World, they gave a great show!
