"The venue change is going to allow us to give attendees the overall experience and also accommodate a larger number of people. Moses Mabhida will absolutely provide us with an ideal setting for his highly-anticipated festival in May 2025.
The ticket sale went live on Friday, 14 February 2025, with Wings encouraging everybody to secure their tickets as early as possible to avoid disappointment at a later stage when tickets would've been sold out.

"We encourage fans to secure their tickets early as we expect a high volume of interest. Ticket information and purchasing details will be available on the Computicket website and through our authorised outlets."

Speaking to Briefly News journalist Jessica Gcaba, Gregory Wings stated that the show is not entirely Ross's and highlighted that the lineup consists of local artists who were born in the vibrant city of Durban.
"While Rick Ross is our headliner, it's important to emphasize that this is not his show. Please pay close attention to the lineup; every single artist featured is born and raised in Durban. The show will undoubtedly sell out thanks to our incredible local talent, including Khuzani, Sjava, NastyC, Blxchie, and many others—not Rick Ross."
