Get ready, Zimbabwe!
The Chibuku Road to Fame 2025 National Finals are around the corner — and this year, it’s bigger, bolder, and more electric than ever before.
Set for Saturday, 4 October 2025, at Gwanzura Stadium, this event marks a quarter-century celebration of discovering and nurturing raw musical talent across the country.
Since 23 August 2025, the national talent hunt has taken Zimbabwe by storm, with provincial finals delivering everything from goosebump-inducing vocals to energetic dance-floor anthems.
With the support of the National Arts Council of Zimbabwe (NACZ), this year’s edition commemorates 25 years of unearthing future stars — and the stage is set for a grand finale like no other.
So far, eight provinces have crowned their champions. The final two — Harare and Mashonaland Central — are still to complete the lineup, but soon the top ten musical groups will be ready to battle it out for fame and fortune.
The Gwanzura Stadium will come alive with thrilling performances from both the finalists and high-profile guest artists, delivering non-stop entertainment from 10 AM till late.
The competition is fierce — and so are the rewards:
1st Prize: USD 15,000 + a recording contract
2nd Prize: USD 10,000
3rd Prize: USD 7,000
Delta Corporation Marketing Director, Irimayi Muzorewa, had this to say: “We look forward to crowning the 2025 Chibuku Road to Fame winners!”
Whether you’re a music lover, talent scout, or simply looking for a good time, Chibuku Road to Fame 2025 promises an unforgettable day of rhythm, passion, and pure Zimbabwean creativity.
Come celebrate 25 years of music, memories, and the making of legends.
