When THE WEEKEND STAR spoke to Derrick 'Cowboy' Knight, head of the Half-Way Tree police, he explained that for his division, no permission for events held after 6 p.m. would be granted. He said: "The regulations during this time clearly speak to no gatherings until things go back to normal, then persons are to apply 10 days before the event for permits." A month-long state of emergency was
called on Sunday, May 23. Last Wednesday, a curfew was also imposed on sections of the Corporate Area.Since the unrest in Kingston, a number of events had to be postponed due to the violence and the state of emergency. Events such as Levels, Equilibrium, Good Times, Wet Sundaze, among others were postponed until further notice.
According to the promoter, a number of patrons were upset by the postponement but they are expecting a large turnout for the 'Girls Gone Wild' edition on June 20. "We're expecting high energy and an even bigger turnout," the promoter commented.
