Well known R&B singer Akon will perform a live show in the Maldives, after he was denied a visa in Sri Lanka because of a scene in one of his videos depicting a woman dancing around a Buddha statue.
Director of Platinum Entertainment Lasantha Samarasinghe, the company organising the ‘Super Fest 2010’ show, said it would be be held at the outdoor cricket stadium on the 23 April and would be “the biggest event ever held in the Maldives.”
“We are expecting 25,000 people to come to the show,” he said, including many tourists.
Samarasinghe said if this event was successful the company “will bring even more Hollywood superstars to the Maldives.”
