AWARD-WINNING Zimbabwean comedian King Kandoro, real name Mukudzei Majoni, is set for a highly-anticipated homecoming performance at the 15th edition of the Shoko Festival, scheduled for September 25 to 27.
The United Kingdom (UK)-based comedian has been conquering stages across the globe on his world tour and is set to return to Zimbabwe as one of the headline acts for the milestone anniversary edition themed The Legacy XV.
“King Kandoro’s appearance at Shoko Festival 2025 marks a highly-anticipated homecoming that fans won’t want to miss as he brings his internationally-acclaimed tour back to Zimbabwe,” festival coordinator Vera Chisvo said.
The comedian’s inclusion as the headline act is a celebration of the momentous 15th anniversary of Shoko Festival, which has grown in leaps and bounds over the past decade and a half.
King Kandoro will be joined by an impressive roster of local talent, including Zim hip-hop 2024 Best Newcomer award-winner Runna Rulez, chart topper Jnr Spragga, whose single MaRulez has been dominating streaming platforms and rising Zimdancehall artiste Madedido.
Festival organisers say more acts will be announced in due course, with more big names billed to participate at the urban culture festival.
The Legacy XV edition is particularly significant as it marks a ground-breaking international collaboration with UK-based Arcadia and In Place of War.
The partnership will see the rollout of the Build The Peace project, featuring a mural co-designed by young Zimbabwean and UK urban artists that will be showcased at Glastonbury before coming to Zimbabwe.
