Highlight Stages for the night included the Highlight Express presented by Kevin Nottingham dot com as well as the Perfect attendance stage presented by Fadia Kader & The Smoking Section and the Creative loafing stage with headlines acts Freeway & Random Axe, as well as a warm up from the legendary Diamond D.
