Durung last year's edition of the festival, Zimbabwean music groups Mokoomba and Bantu Spaceship/s graced the main stage and the Amphitheatre stage respectively. Over the years, the festival has hosted highly regarded names in Zimbabwean music, such as Oliver Mtukudzi, and Jah Prayzah.
The MTN Bushfire Festival sees some of Africa’s best artists performing in an intimate and 100% socially responsible festival.
