Zimbabwe's music lovers are in for a major celebration as the St. Ignatius Festival 2026 returns on 22 August at Old Hararians Sports Club in Harare, bringing together some of the country's biggest artists for a day of music, culture and community fundraising.
Organisers say this year's edition will be one of the festival's biggest yet, combining world-class entertainment with a strong charitable mission aimed at supporting community development initiatives.
Award-winning music star Jah Prayzah will headline the event alongside celebrated singer Tamy Moyo, with both artists expected to deliver high-energy performances that will anchor the festival's main stage.
The lineup also features some of Zimbabwe's leading urban musicians, including rising hip-hop sensation Saint Floew and acclaimed rapper Voltz JT, whose performances are expected to appeal to younger audiences and showcase the country's evolving music scene.
Adding a gospel and inspirational touch to the programme are ROMAC and Fr. Mobie, who will perform uplifting sets designed to create a family-friendly atmosphere throughout the festival.
Entertainment will continue between live performances with sets from DJ T-Eyes, DJ Spice, and DJ Spunj, ensuring music plays continuously from midday until late evening.
Beyond the entertainment, the festival serves as a fundraising event for St. Peter's Kubatana in Highfield. Proceeds will support education, community development projects and outreach programmes benefiting vulnerable members of the community.
Co-organiser Patricia Makani said the festival is designed to bring people together not only for entertainment but also to make a positive impact through charitable giving.
