FREEMAN HKD returns with the Second Edition HKD Festival which is set to light up Glamis Arena in Harare on October 25.
Hot on the heels of his chart-topping legacy from Tapinda Mustaera to Me vs Me, the multi-award-winning artiste is pulling out all the stops, curating a stellar all-local lineup that reads like a who-is-who of Zimbabwean music royalty.
With heavyweights like Killer T, Nutty O, Seh Calaz, Feli Nandi and Baba Harare set to storm the stage alongside rising stars and power-packed DJs, the festival promises to be a celebration of sound, culture, and unity.
From general to VVIP, every ticket is a passport to witness history in the making because this isn’t just a concert, it’s a new wave of life and style.
Born Emegy Sylvester Chizanga, Freeman is known for hit songs Tapinda Mustaera (2011), Last Man Standing (2012), Vabeliever (2013), New Chapter (2014), Varidzi Vezvinhu (2015), Mangoma Ihobho (2016), David and Goliath (2022), Trophy (2023) and Me vs Me (2024), among others.
He said the HKD Festival was inspired by the long journey walked in music, and it’s also a way of celebrating growth and the love his fans and family have shown over the years.
The Second Edition HKD Festival will showcase performances from HKD Band, Nashi Zim, Bagga, Delroy Shewe, Atenda Chinx, Nutty O, Voltz JT and Culture Love. Selectors Don Family, King Her, God Father Templeman, DJ Tanaman, Merciless Zim, MC Gudo will spin the wheel to ignite the festivals.
“This lineup is inspired by how these artistes have contributed to the genres they represent. It’s also a way of promoting rising talent and giving them a different stage to shine. Glamis Arena is more like a neutral venue for people across the city and the country. It’s easy to reach and big enough for everyone to enjoy comfortably,” Freeman told NewsDay Life & Style.
