Kicking off his performance, Wave Rhyder sang one of ATI's, also famed as Lekhete le le Tona Tona, songs. He later delivered a beautiful performance where he and the award-winning Han C made a remix with their songs, and the performances blew the audience away. Together with his fellow Lesotho artist, Sannere, they sang their song dubbed Botle Ba Ngoanenoa. Wave Rhyder also performed Re Tsepile Uena, Ke Khahluwe, Ntlohelleng and Romeo Oa Nkolota.
Before Wave Ryder, Sannere also gave patrons who were excited to see him do a beautiful performance. As usual, local artists did not disappoint; they gave breathtaking performances. This time, Ditiro Leero gave the audience a long performance, and after performing his songs, he invited the Tsaya Thobane singer, Dr Vom, on stage, and as usual, his fans were already prepared for the Tsaya Thobane song as they carried branches and sticks whilst singing and dancing. The duo, who were accompanied by their dancers, continued singing more of Dr Vom's songs.
Mma Ausi and her dancers also gave the audience a breathtaking performance. Culture Spears, Tshumu, Kabelo Tiro, and Machesa also did not disappoint in their performances. On Saturday, Dikakapa Tse Ditonatona brought forth the late Tau ya Koma (Gong Master's) son Tawana, who performed with them and sang most of his late father's part in the group's albums.
The local DJs who showcased at the event gave it their all. They kept the audience on their feet throughout the whole show with different music genres. The masters of ceremonies also did their best to keep the audience captivated.
Furthermore, the Patrons also paid tribute to ATI, where his songs were played, and they lit their phones' flashlights. The tribute was done twice, as later on the master of the ceremony announced that the late ATI's parents were present at the event and therefore wanted them to witness and join the audience in remembering ATI, who played a significant role in the local music industry and touched the lives of Batswana.
As usual, the patrons made sure they dressed to kill for the event. However, some kept to their blue German print outfits. They made the event colourful. The women came in with newly designed outfits, from dresses, shorts, trousers, to skirts.
