The Jacaranda trees are finally blooming on the streets of Harare and this means this Stanbic Bank Jacaranda Music Festival is almost here. Regarded as one of Zimbabwe’s best festivals, the 2023 JMF will be taking place from 6 – 8 October at Old Hararians Sports Club in Harare. This will be fifth edition of the festival. The organisers recently revealed a list of over 30 artists set to perform this year.
The festival has always prided itself on giving a platform to rising local names and this years list of perfomers perfectly balances, international acts, rising names and established Zimbabwean acts. They’re some returning names and a lot of new acts to the stage.
