All is set for the third edition of the NetOne 263 Culture Fest, scheduled for 18 October at Thorn Polo Club.
The festival has grown in leaps and bounds over the past three years, attracting bigger acts and larger crowds with each edition.
Zimbuzz caught up with the festival’s creative director, Tapfuma Nzara, aka T Mula, who explained the move from Belgravia Sports Club to Thorn Polo Club.
“The main reason for changing the venue is that this year we have household names such as Major League DJz and the Scorpion Kings. Last year, Belgravia was a full house and we are expecting an even bigger crowd this year,” he said.
T Mula also confirmed that Nomuzi ‘Moozlie’ Mabhena will return as MC.
“She has become somewhat of a brand ambassador for the event. She understands both South African and Zimbabwean culture. With the way the festival has grown, we expect people from across the region to attend, which will also boost local tourism,” he added.
The festival will also feature a fashion showcase with designers presenting their collections. A wide variety of food will be on sale, from sadza to braaied meat, highlighting the different cultures of Zimbabwe.
The music line-up includes DJ Kent, the seasoned De Mthuda, Ciza of 6 AM fame, and rapper A-Reece, who will bring a South African hip-hop flavour with his strong catalogue.
On the local front, performers include Nisha Ts, Saint Floew now regarded as a veteran and known for his hit Silas Mavende and Atenda Chinx, who will share the stage with other Zimbabwean legends.
Gates open at 12 noon till late.
