L'Derry's MTV Crashes 'A Success'
L'Derry's 'MTV Crashes' event has been hailed a success by Derry City Council and Mayor Brenda Stevenson.
Music acts performed over two nights to 20,000 music fans at Ebrington Square in the city.
The event was part of of the city’s Music City 2014 celebrations.
Mayor Brenda Stevenson said: "The atmosphere in the city over the weekend has been unbelievable. Once again Derry has welcomed a whole host of international stars for a fantastic showcase event for the region, and local music fans have enjoyed a full programme of top class entertainment as part of Music City 2014 celebrations. It has been a very successful partnership arrangement between MTV, Derry City Council, Ilex and NITB and we are delighted that the two gigs were such a success.
"The fact that we also had Culture Night and the CultureTech Festival running over the course of the weekend, meant there were a diverse range of events to suit all ages and tastes. I would like to thank all our partners and everyone involved in ensuring that the weekend’s events were such a success."
