Mihaylov was responding to a statement by Earthlife Namibia's Bertchen Kohrs, who called on Government to prevent the concert from taking place because of its expected impact on the environment.

"Earthlife does not understand that we share the same aim.

We should rather come together instead of working against each other," Mihaylov said.

"There is no way of destroying the place through music.

Music is the best way to draw people's attention," he said.

Kohrs maintained that the concert would attract masses of vehicles and people, who would sleep over there.

"Imagine the littering, and would toilets be set up around the area? Thousands of people will be at that place," she said.

Mihaylov added that the organisers had been in contact with the Spitzkoppe community, who were in favour of the concert because it would attract tourists to the area.

"We are not just going there for the sake of partying.

If that was the case we could party here in the city," Mihaylov said.
