UPDATE: Samuel Medas gets the crowd praising @ Gospel Fest 2025
The free event was the first stage show at Charlie Neil Frett Festiville and saw a fair-sized crowd coming out to get their praises on.
Medas, 36, of Guyana, had the crowd energised from the start of his just over one-hour performance, belting out some of his favourites such as Move, Royalty, Jah Arise, No Performance, Presence, and Can’t Be The Only One.
The international gospel artiste also skilfully did covers of several gospel artistes, which the crowd equally enjoyed.
Medas ended his performance with a taste of his Guyana Soca Monarch-winning song, ‘Stadium’, which the crowd was ready to respond to.
Prior to Medas coming on stage, Tiffany George, Donna Clyne, NLBC Praise and Worship, Joy Praise and Abby Christopher had the honour of leading the crowd in praises.
Coney Island opens!
Last night was also the opening of Coney Island, and a good opportunity for many to avoid the crowd expected from tonight.
Some of the attractions this year include Bumper Cars, Mini Rollercoaster, Trampoline Park, Flying Chairs, The Cage, Ferris Wheel, and the famous Vortex.
The Vortex will be open from tonight, which will also see the Opening Ceremony for the 71st Emancipation Festival.
Stage acts for tonight include Razor Blades, Boss, Bari, Edwin Yearwood and Krosfyah.
The host DJ will be Carly Cartel.

The return of Samuel Medas
They say when it's nice, you do it twice, and that is the case of Samuel Medas, who the crowd could not get enough of when he headlined Gospel Fest back in 2023.
Medas, who is also a former Guyana Soca Monarch, has many gospel songs; however, his most popular ones are 'Royalty', 'Presence', 'Move' and 'Jah Arise'.
Other main acts are Tiffany George and Donna Clyne.
Also taking part in Gospel Fest 2025 are NLBC Praise and Worship, Joy Praise and Abby Christopher.
Chairperson of the Virgin Islands Festival & Fairs Committee, Mrs Natalie N. Penn-Lake, said, “We’re inviting all persons to come out to be a part of that celebration," during the Virgin Islands Voice on Wednesday, July 23, 2025.

I know that many will dislike this comment because it doesn't fit there mindset. But this comment is not to celisit likes or dislikes, but rather to highlight a clear distinction position of how far we people have move away from God path of abundance life. Opps! Many wolves in sheep's clothing will be praising their gods using Jesus' name falsely as a front of true worship, and genuine freedom. Amen.
Those so called Christians need to choose, God or Satan
God had no part in that celebration last night, it was just noise in His ears not a sweet smelling savor.
God is not a God confusion.
The scriptures tells us “ put a difference between holy and unholy and between clean and unclean”
Fake hair, breast,ass,face etc. underneath makeup their ugly
What a shame that these people who are calling themselves by the name of CHRIST year after year are going in the devil's campground singing gospel songs and think that they are doing something good, when in fact they are just going there to show off their talent and glorify self and Satan, the Great Deceiver! Has anyone surrendered to Christ last night because of your singing??? Do you think that they will because of it? You all need to listen to that message by Pastor Hugo Thomas, where he preached about this same issue. Those SDA singers are the worst because they claim to know the truth, yet went into that Festival village last night. The call that is being rung out for years is to COME OUT FROM AMONG THEM AND BE YE SEPARATE, says the Lord! Thank God, Jesus said that He has 'other sheep' who are not of this fold, and when the time is right, He will bring them in. GOD HAS A REMNANT WHO HAS NOT BOWED THEIR KNEES TO BAAL. Pastor Sylvester of the SDA Church, you need to discipline these members because they are a disgrace to the faith. Even last year they went to the Queen show! These sets are not true SDA's!
. You've been parking in the devils compound.. I suggests you throw away your vehicle and clothing and start a new.
