Event organizers understand that a stellar lineup is the heartbeat of any great festival. The 2026 roster is meticulously curated to guarantee high energy and nonstop dancing.
The Jiti Master: Baba Harare
Headliner Baba Harare brings an unmatched, electric energy to the stage. His mastery of Jiti music—a genre that commands massive crowd participation—makes him the ideal anchor for an outdoor, daytime-to-evening festival.
The Hype Masters
Keeping the energy at maximum levels are legendary MCs and crowd-pleasers Godfatha Templeman, Ndumiso, and J-Boss. They are set to bridge the gap between the music and the massive crowd.
On The Decks
With DJ Tanaman and DJ TFlow on the decks, the festival guarantees a continuous flow of high-energy local and international mixes, ensuring the crowd's energy remains high between main stage performances.
The Surrey Braai Festival has deliberately kept ticket prices incredibly affordable to ensure that no one misses out on the action.
Accessible Entry Points
Priced at just $3 for Kids and $5 for General Admission, this event lowers the barrier for the average Zimbabwean family. For those seeking extra comfort, the $10 VIP option offers an elevated experience.
Dedicated Kids Zone
Families are more than welcome! A dedicated Kids Zone featuring games, activities, and mascots means parents can relax and enjoy the braai competition while the little ones are thoroughly entertained in a safe environment.
Where to Buy

By hosting this massive event at the Surrey headquarters, the festival breaks the monopoly of Harare-centric entertainment.
The Perfect Road Trip
Marondera provides the ultimate "weekend escape" for Harare residents and surrounding towns. It’s a short, scenic drive that leads straight into a massive outdoor arena customized for grilling and grooving.
A Boost for Locals
The festival isn't just a party; it's a major boost for the local economy. With numerous stalls available, local vendors and SMEs in Mashonaland East get a prime opportunity to showcase their goods to thousands of attendees.
