MORE than 40,000 screaming fans tested security efforts as they revelled in a spectacle of international and local pop artists at the free MTV Exit Live in Phnom Penh concert on Saturday.
Streams of families, young adults and teenagers jammed into Olympic Stadium to catch a glimpse of their favourite artists on stage.
A mix of private security, local police and the military had their hands full trying to control the masses – a larger amount than organisers had anticipated.
One fan who squeezed his way through the audience, past security, over the barrier fence and to the restricted access area at the front of the stage was 22-year-old Diamond Kheng.
“I wanted to be up front because I love the music and these bands. I want to be a singer like them. I always sing songs everyday, so I tried for a long time to come here to the front,” he said.
