NEW YORK — The fervor surrounding Juanes’ free concert in Central Park Wednesday ended with the headliner leaving the stage early due to the massive crowd in attendance.
Even while the real-feel temperature in the city climbed up to the mid 90s, fans of the Colombia-born superstar came out in droves to hear hit songs such as “A Dios le Pido” and “Mala Gente.” But because the audience went well-beyond the expected capacity at Rumsey Playfield, the evening show ended after just two songs.
According to some estimates, more than 10,000 people snaked around the venue with a line that seemed about a mile long.
