The theme for this yearevente, i “Local & Proud” with the Nyau King Tay Grin, a man of the moment Zeze, Eli Njuchi, Saint, Gwamba, Namadingo, Lulu & Mathumela, Temwah and many other local artists be headliners.
Kalukusha said the event will have heavy security with over 150 private security personnel, 20 security dogs and some police officers, who will also help to control traffic.

He added that all artists on the lineup have confirmed their participation and are prepared to perform.
