The show, which is the day three of the ongoing Felabration, will also feature live  performances by Ade Bantu, Benn Paladin, Djinee, Efya, Nneka, Waje and a few other  upcoming stars.

When P.M.NEWS called at the Shrine yesterday, Fuji lovers especially fans of K-1 were  excited that they will have the opportunity of watching him perform live tonight.

Theo Lawson, Chairman, Organising Committee, Felabration, told P.M.NEWS that K-1 has sent  words across that he will be at the Shrine tonight. “As you can see, we have put all the  necessary things in place, including security. We are ready for K-1.”

P.M.NEWS gathered that apart from the Fuji star on the bill, the organising committee is  also working towards receiving the internationally acclaimed Makossa king, Awilo Logomba,  who is likely to arrive tomorrow.

Yesterday, Weird MC, Positive Force Band and others performed at the New Afrika Shrine to  kick start the musical. performance.
