![]() Regardless, PSG has a lot of experience in many markets so I imagine they’re ramping up for a big night. That said, I am curious to see how the model holds up with greater numbers at Belknap Park. ![]() I am just guessing here, but I suspect Saturday is going to be twice as busy as Friday night, especially with Russian-German EDM star Zedd headlining. That opinion aside, the audio, visual, lighting design/production was some of the best we have experienced in West Michigan, and certainly worthy of a professional tip of the hat to BUS 8 Productions.
