In any mixed performance situation, the order of performances and the timing of appearances are crucial. Just as TV series have their prime time slots and movies have their summer releases, the same applies to stage performances.
From the schedule of the Full Moon Party, it's evident that the real climax is expected between 10 pm and 5 am the following morning. During this time, the atmosphere is at its peak, and the party is at its wildest. The audience is in their best state, emotions are still building, and exhaustion hasn't set in yet.
One Day King's performance time isn't ideal, but it's also not bad. Given their last-minute addition to the lineup, having a slot from 6 pm to 6:30 pm is already something to be grateful for. They can't ask for more, especially considering the circumstances. Any further changes to their performance time would be quite disruptive.
However, Cliff couldn't provide a definitive answer, and a sense of unease began to permeate the atmosphere in the car.
"Hey! This is an unexpected and rare opportunity! Instead of being greedy for more, we should cherish the thirty minutes we have now. As for where we're placed in the lineup, in my opinion, it doesn't matter at all," Ollie's cheerful voice broke through the tension.
Maxim turned to look at Ronan, who wore a contented expression, and that helped ease the mood.
For Ronan, simply being able to stand on stage and perform was already a source of happiness, and he had no further demands.
Turning their heads to look out the window, they saw the gorgeous sunshine casting its radiance upon the Mississippi River.
The glistening droplets on the water seemed like pearls, shimmering under the golden sunlight. It was a breathtaking sight that left them in awe.
As they gazed closer at the river's surface, they realized that the shimmering pearls were actually bubbles floating on the water. They transformed into a beautiful spectacle under the warm sunshine, exuding a magnificent radiance that was hard to put into words.
Gradually, the vehicle entered the city center. Contrary to their expectations of a quiet Saturday morning, the streets were bustling with people. Laughter and lively conversations filled the air as young people chased each other, and even white-collar workers, still clad in shirts and suits, were letting loose.
New Orleans was one of the few places where public consumption of alcohol was allowed in any public place. Bars in the city even provided the service of allowing customers to leave with a glass, creating a unique and charming scene where people strolled the streets with a beer in hand.
This atmosphere, combined with the aroma of wheat, baking, and a hint of sweetness in the air, added to the feeling of midsummer vitality. The anticipation of the Full Moon Party infused everyone with energy and excitement.
Soon, they reached a point where the crowd grew denser, and traffic slowed down. Ronan rolled down the window, allowing the vibrant sounds of the street to mix with the heat and rush over his face.
"Ah, tonight! Tonight!"
"I've been looking forward to this for so long."
"Have you seen the performance lineup?"
"I heard that underground bands from Atlanta are performing. It's going to be great!"
"This year's theme is 'authenticity.' I wonder if the bands will incorporate that into their performances."
"Wait, the Full Moon Party has a theme?"
"Isn't it just a party?"
"Haha! Speaking of Full Moon Parties, the ones in Thailand are the best. I've been to Phuket twice before..."
Conversations and excitement filled the air as the atmosphere of the carnival party began to grow restless.
"Wow!" A clear sigh escaped someone's lips. Ronan turned to see Ollie peering over his shoulder, and Alice had rolled down her window, capturing the scene with her camera.
Maxim's voice joined in once again. "Look! Is that the lineup for tonight's Full Moon Party?"
Following Maxim's gaze, they saw a massive crowd that seemed to stretch endlessly, creating a mesmerizing visual effect, like an ocean of people.
The sight was both awe-inspiring and overwhelming, with people packed together, seemingly forming at least seven or eight layers of crowds. Due to the density of the crowd, it was challenging to make out clear details.
However, one thing was certain—it was a spectacular sight!
