The EvaLucian band will also back up Arthur, Menell, Trevor Dornelly and Michael Robinson.
In addition, Meshach, Ashanti, Black Pearl, Mighty and Subance will perform as well as Barbara Cadet and Sir Lancelot.
This grand concert has been designed to produce an all star cast of DJ HP and the Kronic Heights crew who will take the audience on a trip down memory lane with songs like ‘Samsung Blue’, ‘One Kiss’ and ‘I Deh’.
