Promoted by ENT Legends, renowned for the popular music festival ‘Sol Blume,’ the event introduced fans to a new venue that seamlessly merged studio vibes with the thrill of live concerts.

Despite it being her first time performing at The Rink Studios, Mariah’s undeniable talent ensured a sold-out show. Joining her were supporting artists Ryan Trey and DJ Honey, adding to the evening’s dynamic lineup.

Kicking off promptly at 8 PM, Ryan Trey set the stage ablaze with his energetic performance, captivating the audience with his engaging presence.
