Rock The World 10 @ Bkt Jalil (26/12/10)RTW10 STILL SCORES BIG DESPITE FOOTBALL FINAL FRENZYStory & Photos: DragonRocking the world despite soccer mania looming in the distance.Rock the world was fiercely hot this year - literally and metaphorically, even despite the looming Malaysia versus Indonesia finals in the background at Bukit Jalil, yesterday. Although the turnout may have been slightly reduced from the year before, Rock The World 10 still packed a significant punch, with newbies and regulars, both scoring big with the attending audience. And the great news was, some of the "minor" acts on the Indie Stage actually manage to pull crowds away from the Main Stage, with their outstanding performances. A big win for the new bands and fans at the popular yearly concert, sealed with the added satisfaction that Malaysia trumped Indonesia 3-0, right next door. Full story & complete pics coming up.
