 Fantastic Friday will belong to Machel Montano as the soca king has announced that his 40th-anniversary show in Trinidad and Tobago will be held on Carnival Friday.
This will be the first show the King of Soca will do on home soil for his 40th anniversary in music. Montano has done shows in the US and has performed in Barbados and Guyana as well this year. He performed briefly in T&T a few months ago for a fundraiser for filmmaker Danielle Dieffenthaller. In ads for the Carnival Friday show called Machel 40, Montano teases that there will be guest performances from Nigerian artistes. Fans are speculating that Afrobeats singer WizKid could be one of the guest acts. Machel 40 will be held at the Hasely Crawford Stadium. Tickets go on sale on January 1. This will Montano's first concert since staging his last Machel Monday show in 2020.  Miss Palmiste - Jeanine Brandt is the new Miss Trinidad and Tobago 2021 and will now represent our nation at the Miss World 2021 Pageant.
