The festival witnessed early performances from the likes of Seyi Shay, Niniola, who performed Mbilo Mbilo remix alongside Uganda's Eddy Kenzo and got locked in a dance tangle, Kranium got the crowd going with his hit single, 'We Can', while Sarkodie came next singing 'Halleluyah'.
Wande Coal's 'Iskaba' was an anthem in the hall, and he also performed 'My Woman, My Everything', with Flavour Nabania also delivering a stellar set with his live band.
Wizkid's set was however the one to see. A number of those who attended the festival had turned up to catch a glimpse of the Star boy and the noise that cheered his entrance on stage was close to deafening levels.
