The young population already connects with some of them who are already disrupting the daily playlists and our taste buds. Our selection criteria were informed by great new talent spread across regions and genres. We made an effort to have artists from different provinces as our festival is national. To make the lineup firm we had to include a few established artistes
The festival will also be more than just music performances as organizers stated that under the Amplifaya Creative Entrepreneurship Program (ACEP) – (A unique program tailored to provide training, space, and support to a young non-professional but practicing artists/ creatives from across all disciplines) they will host an extensive full day training workshop the day before the main festival, where the participating artists will undergo a robust and empowering workshop with industry professionals who will train them on creative business, artist management, mental health issues, substance abuse, digital innovation and how to become a better live performer.
