THIS year’s edition of the annual Zim Link Up show will host Ex-Q, Nutty O, Freeman, Takura and Killer T.
The event which marks its seventh anniversary is set for April 30 to May 1 in Birmingham, United Kingdom.
Ex Q and Nutty O will be making a return after performing at the event last year.
“I am glad to be performing at the Zim Link Up again. Fans should expect nothing, but the best,” said Nutty O.
“Making a return to Zim Link Up really means a lot because the return is based on people's request. We are building a new culture for both the Zimbabwean diaspora and the world at large.
“We are also setting a platform for Zimbabwean creatives to showcase their intention to globalise their craft in this instance musically.”
Show organiser Kivo Santana said the festival has grown in its seven year existence.
“We’re excited to have last year's artists joining us again. In 2022 we took the event to two cities, Birmingham and Manchester, selling out both shows,” said Santana.

“Several people are excited about the event and this year's demand is record breaking due to the strength of the brand.
“The Zim Link Up brand has grown from just a small club event to now being a full blown concert brand, which will propel not only the artists, but Zimbabwean music to the world stage.
“This year we have taken the event to a world class venue, Forum, in Birmingham. This is the same venue we hosted Davido, Uncle Waffles and DJ Maphorisa in 2022.”
Santana added that every artist will be backed by a live band - Hot Property Band and Shabach the Band.
