American pop and R&B singer-songwriter Ne-Yo will be performing at the Nelson Mandela Bay, along with three other top international artists – rapper and actor Ludacris and reggae artists Shaggy and Protoje.
The four international artists would be complemented by local stars, including Mi Casa ,Bucie, Zakes Bantwini and, Eltonnik & NAAK, at the first annual Mbay MegaFest at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium on Saturday, 02 June 2012.
Festival organisers Zeranza said the concert was possibly the most high-profile one yet in the region.

Andrew Wessels, festival director and Zeranza chief executive, said the contracts had been signed and arrangements were now being made. “We feel confident this is one of the most exciting line-ups of artists ever secured for a single-day concert in the region,” he said.
“We are extremely excited to be hosting an event with performers of this magnitude in Nelson Mandela Bay, and we are confident the success of the first event will leave guests counting down the days until the next show.”
The municipality’s sports, recreation, arts and culture portfolio head, Babalwa Lobishe, said they would encourage municipal officials to support the event by buying their own tickets.
“We appreciate the service providers being willing to bring this big event to our community without having the municipality involved,” she said.
Tickets will be on sale at Computicket.
