Dubbed Dare Guru, the show will feature Baba Manyeruke, Mathias Mhere, Fungisai Zvakavapano, Mai Patai and Zolasko from Botswana.
In an interview with H-Metro, Chipaz said they were ready for the big day.
“We have done all the ground work and all this is due proper planning.
“After taking a break over the years to give others the platform, we decided to make a comeback after realising that there was a huge gape.
“We have been holding similar gigs over the years and this is not new to those who know us,” he said.
Added Chipaz:
“As a promoter, I always want to give artists the right platform to express themselves.
“Of course I have been criticised for hold more shows in one day but it’s all about planning.
“We will continue doing the same as long as resources permit because as a registered promoter I have a made to play.”
