There will also be appearances from other special guest artistes on the night.
Stars meeting on one stage are a clear indication that the event will not only be about the music but also a sizzling mix bag of pure entertainment served on one menu.
A number of personalities including celebrities, creative industry stakeholders as well as highlife music lovers from all walks of life are expected to grace the event.
