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.
“The mayor has also assisted us in creating a one-way system to ensure clear traffic direction on the day, allowing for easy access to the venue,” he said.
He added that all artists on the lineup have confirmed their participation and are prepared to perform.
In her remarks Lilongwe City Mayor Esther Sagawa commended the initiative, calling it a good platform for supporting local artists and also entertaining the people.
