Zambian car drifting superstar, Jericho Moono, and Team Rio from South Africa, will be showcasing their array of daredevil car skills.
Saintfloew, Probeatz and the Chillspot Family are expected to perform live at the event.
There will also be a rotation of Djs such as Rax, Rawse, Springer and Jamal.
