The festival features 80 MCs, 35 DJs, 100 stalls, a game zone, basketball games, graffiti battles, four stages, and fun fair rides.

From the daytime events to the evening performances, this is a place where the inner city comes alive with true freedom of expression, providing a destination for hip hop fans, artists and industry related individuals alike.

The 2024 instalment is headlined by American rapper, Benny the Butcher, who is supported by local artists Nasty C, Blxckie, Maglera Doe Boy, Emtee, Nadia Nakai, Priddy Ugly, and more.
