Excitement is reaching fever pitch with just over 10 days to go before Port Elizabeth is hit by the Mbay Megafest on 2 June 2012.
Grammy-winning superstars Ne-Yo, Ludacris and Shaggy are preparing to jet into the country early next week ahead of what is set to become a signature event on the Eastern Cape’s music calendar.
SAMA-winning soul house trio Mi Casa are also gearing up to put on a powerhouse performance at PE’s Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium on the day, alongside rising Jamaican star Protoje and sensational local acts Shoelace Rockazsoul, Bucie, Eltonnick and Naak MusiQ.
Eastern Cape-based DJsMtira, Kasta, Baba D, Cute, Spectrum and Master Jam will be mixing up a storm on the decks to make sure the festival is an all-day party to remember.
The MBay Mega Fest is being staged by Zeranza.299 (Pty) LTD, and features a banquet of non-stop entertainment across two stages. The promoters hope the event will give a shot in the arm to the regional economy, creating employment opportunities and putting PE firmly on the national – and global – music map.
