The Full Shoko Festival 2015 Program

The full Shoko Festival 2015 program is available finally, and as the resourceful yet cheap mavericks that we are, we have managed to obtain it for you in full! Don't forget, it's $5 entry per day which gives you full access to ALL the shows on that day (a veritable fortune for us, but surely a pittance for you Mr Moneybagses out there) AND FREE on Saturday for the Peace In The Hood concert in Chitungwiza.

Besides the headline South African acts Cassper Nyovest, Bucie, Tol A$$ Mo and Deep Fried Man, as well as UK rappers Blak Twang & Silvastone and German acts Symbiz and Dawee, look out for local acts Jnr Brown, Soul Jah Love, Doc Vikela, Trae Yung, Stunner, Shinsoman, Shingi Mangoma, The Monkey Nuts, Davina Green and more. The conferences, pop-ups, rap battles, poetry slams, comedy shows and acoustic events make sure everyone has something to look forward to too.
