Sand Music Festival director Lucius Banda told a press briefing at Sunbird Mount Soche that this year’s festival will capitalize on the lessons learnt since the festival was launched eight years who to produce a flawless event.

“We are very proud of the of the menu that we have put together for this year’s festival. We have worked really hard to create an event that will impress our patrons,” he said.

To complement the music, this year’s festival will feature traditional dances, a fashion show, boxing as well as aerobics.

“We have decided to add a lot of variety because we feel that it is imperative to cater for all classes of people as well as age groups so that this becomes a festival that everyone will enjoy,” he said.

Answering a question on the financial budget that the heavy list of international artists might have on the festival organisers, Lucius said the mission of the festival is not to make profit but to create a successful event.

He added: Of course, the cover charge does not reflect the menu of the festival but our core objective is to make sure that the festival happens annually and that it is successful. But we do have financial handicaps, which is why we continue to appeal to our partners to come to our aid so that we present a really fine festival.”
