Reason Diamond was forced to promise free Wasafi show

After just three songs, Diamond Platnumz's concert at Mtwara on Saturday night had to be cut short due to a power outage.

This happened barely 30 minutes after he had started his performance. The MC then announced that all of the disgruntled attendees would receive VIP treatment on Sunday after the epic failure.

"We start in the morning till 4PM. We ask you to come early in the morning. You that are here today are going to be VIPs tomorrow. "

The popular artist also expressed his regret on social media and promised to resume the event on Sunday in the morning.

"MTWARA!!!! MTWARA!!!! Kutokana na itirafu ya Umeme Jana katikati ya Show yangu, Leo kuanzia Asubuhi Mpaka Saa 12 jioni Ni na wasanii Mbalimbali wa Wasafi Festival tutakua tunaperform tena Live Katika Uwanja wa NANGWANDA."

He emphasised that admission will be free.

"Sijaona kwa kiingilio cha bure …Njoo na Familia, Watoto, Rafiki ndugu na jamaa wote kuenjoy kwenye Day 2 Maalum ya #WasafiFestival #KivumbiLeo."

(I have not seen one with free entrance, come with your family, kids, and friends to enjoy)
