The line-up will be spinning in a stadium that's been kitted out for the ultimate experience. Vodacom's executive show producer, Glenn van Loggerenberg, said: "Vodacom is putting together a highly choreographed show, which includes moving staging parts with more than 100 LED panels, a double-sized high-definition video wall, synchronised lighting specifically designed to work with the architecture of the stadium, massive bass heavy sound and multi-layered pyrotechnics."

Live satellite feed

Vodacom has specifically created video performance sequences and is coupling this with a live satellite feed from a remote location and transmitting the show out to regional venues across the country through its 12-camera outside broadcast truck. Vodacom is also broadcasting parts of the event on television and radio.

Other overseas big-hitters on the roster include France's DJ Rocco, who's rocked crowds here before and who is a member of the amazing Rodamaal, as well as a producer in his own right.

Also representing Europe is Germany's Ralf Gum, whose GOGO Music label has been home to tracks by the likes of Black Coffee and who released the massive tune "Kissing Strangers" in 2008.

Proceeds to Orlando Children's Home

Other DJs include The Maestro, aka Greg Maloka as well as Tim White and DJ Strat3gy.

Tickets for the event are R100 and are available from Computicket only. All proceeds from the festival go to Orlando Children's Home
