SEM’s Minky Walters said they were expecting loads of excitement.
“Concerts in previous years have been well-supported and response to the music and the performers has been great. So we anticipate a similar reaction to the superb line-up of entertainers scheduled to perform in the Summer of Music series,” she said.
Rockin’ Harare, with premier sponsor Heineken, features Prime Circle, a six-piece rock band.
Local acts, Evicted, Macy Huber and Daniel Jenkins, will also be part of the line-up.
Evicted, a popular four-piece band that has pioneered the Afro-rock fusion genre, has performed across Africa and in Australia. It won the 2014 Battle of the Bands competition and has a huge following across the country.
Other sponsors for the event are flyafrica.com, Rooneys Hire Service and African Sun.
Advance booking for Rockin’ Harare and Summer Night Concert is already open at Sound Event Management’s box office in PaSangano, Avondale.
