Nasty C is one of the musicians billed to perform at the 9th edition of the Pacific Bulawayo Shutdown event in Zimbabwe’s second biggest city, Bulawayo, on Saturday, 26 April.
The following week, on 3 May 2025, Nasty C will head to the Durban Music Festival, headlined by Rick Ross. The organiser from Blue Screen Entertainer, Gregory Wings, shared with Briefly News journalist Jessica Gcaba about what partygoers can expect from the show.
"Bring comfortable party clothes and ensure you bring something warm for later that evening."
He also emphasised that people should not bring professional photography and video recording equipment to the venue.
With just a few days left until the show, Gregory is confident they will sell out because of Nasty C and the other performers.

The Pacific Bulawayo Shutdown will be hosted at the Zimbabwe International Trade Fair (ZITF) (ZIEC) main arena. General tickets are priced at US$15, while VIP tickets cost US$40 and VVIP tickets are available for US$70. Tickets can be purchased at select locations.
The show was initially scheduled for Queens Sports Club but was relocated following Zimbabwe Cricket and Bulawayo City Council’s objection to the use of the venue to host a non-cricketing event.
Queens Sports Club is set to host a Test series pitting Zimbabwe against South Africa and New Zealand in June and August.
