The show will not go without international acts. South Africa's sensational song bird, Nkosazana Daughter, and Zambia's Oga family will also make headlines.
Lucius Banda started his solo music career in 1993 with his maiden album, 'Son of A Poor Man' which he recorded in South Africa.
Later on, other albums like 'Down Babylon' (1995), 'Cease Fire' (1996) and 'How long?' (2001) were released, and cemented his status as one of the greatest musicians in Malawi.
Through his Zembani music company, musicians like Billy Kaunda, Mlaka Maliro and Lulu have emerged from there.
However, reports indicate his son John, who is also called Mr. Zembani, is set to take over leadership of Zembani band.
