Zimbabwe’s annual homecoming, Dzoka Fest, will be making its return on 20 December 2026 at Lifestyle Park in Chishawasha.
Building up to this second edition Dzoka Fest has revealed the second wave of artists for its December edition.
The festival is embracing the African diaspora with British-Nigerian singer/songwriter Gabzy joining the lineup. Drawing on his Nigerian roots and experiences growing up in London, the singer has developed his own fusion of R&B, soul, and Afrobeats that his put him at the forefront of the Afro-fusion scene. A presence solidified by solo projects like "Malone" (2020) and "At the End of the Night" (2022).
Gabzy was announced alongside South African vocalist Sykes, who has lended his voice to hits such as "iPlan," "Ngyozama," "Mali," "Mamma," and "uMA weNGANE." Known as the Zulu Michael Jackson, the Durban born singer-songwriter has been trailblazing the South African music scene for the last few years.
Completing Dzoka's second wave announcement is Zim hip hop artist Holy Ten, an act currently in demand after a year long self imposed exile in South Africa.
The trio of acts will join Nigerian Afrobeats legend Maleek Berry, amapiano vocalist Tracy, and Zimbabwe's reigning King of R&B Takura, who were announced in the first wave.
Dzoka Fest tickets are currently on sale.
