Winky D, Jah Prayzah Set for New Year’s Eve Mega Concert at Hockey Stadium

Zimbabwe’s music scene is gearing up for one of its biggest events of the year, with award winning artists Winky D and Jah Prayzah scheduled to headline a massive New Year’s Eve concert at the Hockey Stadium, inside the National Sports Stadium complex, on 31 December.

The event, titled One Big Party, is being organised by Chipaz Promotions and is expected to attract thousands of fans eager to close off 2025 in style with performances from two of the country’s most influential music heavyweights.

Promoter Partson “Chipaz” Chimbodza confirmed the concert, describing it as a landmark celebration that will bring together music lovers from across the country. He said preparations are already underway to ensure a safe, well coordinated event at one of Harare’s largest outdoor facilities.

“This is a historic show. Bringing Winky D and Jah Prayzah together on New Year’s Eve is something fans have been asking for, and we are delivering it at the highest level,” Chipaz said. “We are putting in place world class staging, lighting and security to make sure everyone enjoys the night responsibly.”

The two artists, known for commanding huge crowds and delivering high energy performances, will share the stage for the first time in several months. Winky D, popularly known as DiBigman, remains a dominant force in dancehall, while Jah Prayzah continues to set the pace in contemporary Zimbabwean music with his blend of afro fusion and traditional influences.

Music analysts say the collaboration between the two stars on such a major platform is expected to provide a significant boost to the entertainment industry, which has recorded growing demand for large-scale year end concerts.

Authorities have indicated that additional security, traffic control and emergency services will be deployed around the National Sports Stadium complex to manage the anticipated high turnout.

Event organisers are also expected to release more details on supporting acts, ticket pricing and entry guidelines in the coming weeks.

For now, excitement continues to build as Zimbabwe counts down to what is shaping up to be one of the biggest New Year’s Eve celebrations on the entertainment calendar.
