“The urban music and fashion explosion aims to showcase the diversities in various popular music genres with the aim of fusing the gaps within the different local movement,” IOL reported via a press release.

The festival will include other lifestyle elements to keep the crowd entertained away from the music, including the Tuckshop (a retail fashion store), the Sports Arena (a skatepark) and the Cafeteria (food court).

Organisers also wanted to ensure maximum safety and have ensured all attendees that there would be a large contingent of security, including uniformed and undercover security that will be on the lookout for possible criminal activity, and offer a vigilant and fast alert response in the event of any incidents.
