MUTARE is set for a weekend of big sounds, live performances and plenty of action, with some of Zimbabwe’s most popular names sharing the spotlight with local talent and family entertainment.
From the dancehall energy of Winky D, Jah Signal and Blot to the infectious sounds of Freeman, Killer T and Junior Spragga, revellers have a full menu of entertainment to choose from.
With the Mutare Shut Down, Manicaland Agricultural Show, live jazz, DJs and club sessions all lined up, there will be little excuse for staying indoors.

Saturday promises to be a major attraction when the Mutare Shut Down brings together an impressive line-up featuring Winky D, Blot, Bling 4, Xiba, Jah Signal and Nisha Ts, among others.
Local Ragga Manyika outfit, Assegai Crew and DJ Candyman will warm up the crowd before the heavyweights take over, setting the stage for a night of dancehall, reggae and contemporary Zimbabwean sounds.
With a strong cast of performers on the bill, the show is expected to draw music lovers from across the city and surrounding areas.
