Locally, people would look forward to the likes of ATI, LaTimmy, Team Distant, Vee, Zeus, Scar, DramaBoi, MMP Family, and Machesa Traditional Group to cater for different genres and audiences.

One of the organisers of the event, Dj Kuchi mentioned, 

“We feel these artistes are the most relevant for our event as they are in everyone’s playlist both here and internationally, locally we have most artiste, and also I encouraged our local acts to perform their hit songs in a special way to make the event memorable.”

The MC’s of the event include the bubbly Dollar Mac of Yarona Fm, T.H.A.B.O the Untshwarable, and Loungo and Sadi of Flavour Dome.

He added that, “we know Dj Kent never disappoints on the decks and for drums they have African Roots who have promised to deliver.”
