IT’S the big one tomorrow and, if you ask some music fans, they will tell you that it’s going to be the BIGGEST one this year.
The creme de la creme of the local musical scene – Jah Prayzah, Feli Nandi, Master H, Tocky Vibes, Killer T and Freeman – under one roof and sharing the stage at the Harare International Conference Centre.
The organisers have dubbed it ‘The Shutdown’, and it’s hard to argue otherwise.
Superstar Jah Prayzah will lead the way during this massive show which is set to usher fans into the festive mood.
Gateway Stream Media manager, Elton Kurima, said the line-up is based on merit.
“We looked at the current trending artists and thought we needed artists who would give music lovers an experience of a life-time.
“The selection is based on merit.
“Feli is an award-winning artist who has been working hard and has gained popularity with music fans across the country.
“We are acknowledging what she has been doing in the industry and her achievements to date.
“We named it ‘The Shutdown’ because we are curating a showstopper, an event full of amazing experiences.
“Additionally, the year is coming to an end, it’s some sort of shutdown, so we felt this name was ideal,” he said.
Kurima added that the venue was secure and comfortable and was recently renovated.
“We believe the line-up is great and the choice of the artists was based on experience more than just filling up the HICC.
“Ticket uptake has been good and we are encouraging fans to buy their tickets early and avoid disappointments.
“Tickets are available from MedOrange Pharmacies, Booties Pharmacies, The Rainbow Towers Hotel, and New Ambassador Hotel, for only US$15 standard tickets and US$40 for the VIP.
“Fans can also buy raffle tickets for US$5 dollars and stand a chance of winning an iPhone 16 pro max.
“We have considered several factors in hosting the event at the HICC.
“The venue is secure, with a lot of parking, and above all the comfort that comes with the venue is amazing, considering that it was recently refurbished.
“Fans should know that they will get the experience of a lifetime.”
