“The preparations for this event started a long time ago. This week we have been finalising some little aspects such as ensuring that we have quality sound output on the day. We are glad to report that has been completed and I can’t wait for Sunday to come,” he said.

He said: “Females are the most targeted during such events, but our aim is to make sure this event is accommodative to all. We want to create a family feel, so we will ensure that all culprits are brought to book.”

The concert has enjoyed partnerships with a number of corporate entities such as Malawian Airlines who have provided a return ticket for Emtee, Standard Bank who have donated K5 million, Grand Palace Hotel have donated K2 million and the overall sponsors Major 1 Records.

Grand Palace Hotel marketing executive Laurent Phiri said by bringing the event to Mzuzu, it is a demonstration that the city has the capacity to host events of that magnitude.

“There is so much that the region can offer in terms of tourist attraction. I believe this is the start for many such events to be held here,” he said.
