Kes The Band and Red Eye \u2013 A Match Made in Soca Heaven<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

This year’s event makes the first since 2019 that Kes The Band will be live in Antigua. Fans have been waiting patiently to get a chance to experience one of the most versatile soca bands the world has ever seen. Kes The Band, known to perform only at Red Eye in Antigua, brings a tantalizing string of hits that constantly keeps the act current and is one of the most sought after socal performers in the world.<\/p>\n

Coupled with his performance, Kes is featured as part of the exclusive treatment that is afforded to VIP guests at Red Eye, where fans are able to mix and mingle with the renowned entertainer. It is unlike anything on the soca scene in Antigua and found only at Red Eye.<\/p>

After much anticipation, The Marketing Machine and The Source today launched early bird specials. General admissions have been reduced from $100 to $75 and VIP from $400 to $350. Early bird tickets can be purchased at The Source and on Ticketing until May 21st 2023. Patrons are urged to capitalize on early bird specials, especially for the VIP as organizers will cap that amount.<\/p>

Red Eye The Sweet 16 Celebration Concert will take place on July 15th at the Antigua Recreation Ground starting at 9PM. The Star-studded and action packed line up features Kes the Band, Tian Winter, Adamo O, Motto, Claudettte Peters and LSA to jam into the early hours of the morning.<\/p>\n
