But one concert that doesn't have any taint of that is the Digicell 10th. Anniversary event planned for next week Friday.
It's got a long list of reggae stars participating - and the marketing machine has already been cranked up to tell everyone that they can believe the hype, headliner, Beenie man and a cast of stars are coming.
We spoke with two of the promoters and two of the performers via telephone from Jamaica today.
Thalia Myvette, Promoter
"It all starts next week Thursday actually at the launch of Envy Magazine. We are actually going to have an autograph night at the Tropicana Lounge where we are going to have some of the artists that will be performing at the concert there to do their appearance."
Tamara, Promoter
"We are going to have 6 international artists; Beenie Man, Babycham, Leftside "Dr. Evil," Chan Dizzy, Trever Off Key and we are also going to have 4 Belizean artists. We will have about 6 hours of international artists, so it's not going to be a 20 minute show at 2 in the morning and it's over. You are going to get your money's worth."
"If we have to charter a private jet - they will be here."
Tickets for the concert event are 70 dollars - and the red carpet pre broadcast will be aired live on Channel 7.
