When the promos for the Zain 026 experience started running, it was clear that the concert would be the biggest outdoor event Ghana had seen in a long time. With international artists like Wyclef, Eve, and Mario headlining; and supported by 2face Idibia, Obrafour, Tinny, and Kwaw Kesse, nothing could go wrong. Well, almost nothing could go wrong.

For those of us that were at the Ohene Djan Stadium on Saturday November 22, we know that a lot more went wrong. I thought hosting a grand concert of this nature made the stadium a good choice; after all most memorable concerts the world over are held in stadiums. So what went wrong?
