Lilongwe, July 9, Mana: Rising northern region music sensation, Mercha, is geared up for his debut headlining show, The City Splash, on August 3, 2024 at Mjolo Village, near Matayifa market in Mzuzu.

The acoustic show, scheduled for the evening hours, marks a significant milestone in Mercha's career, and he is eager to share the experience with his fans.

"Headlining my own show has always been a dream, and I am excited to finally make it a reality with The City Splash.

"I'm grateful for the support I have received throughout my musical journey, and I hope fans will continue supporting me on this new chapter," he said.

Kingston Chibwazi, a fan of Mercha, hailed the development as exciting news.

"This is a good development coming from an artist I love the most. The show will be an exciting experience for someone like me who loves listening to his music," said Chibwazi.

Gwamba, a well-established name in Malawi's music industry, has commended Mercha for taking the initiative to organize his own show.

"It is important for upcoming artists to have their own events as it helps improve their brand. The more you master the art of doing events, the more you grow your brand," said Gwamba.

He further advised upcoming artists not to wait for promoters but to take charge of their careers.

The City Splash show will feature a lineup of talented artists, including Prince Chitz and Wakisa James, with more names to be announced soon.

Mercha has also revealed plans for a college tour from September to November and several upcoming shows and festivals.

Fresh from the success of his latest single, "Obhebha," featuring Namadingo, Mercha is set to release another exciting collaboration, "Zamawa," featuring Prince Chitz.

The artist and his management are inviting potential sponsors to come on board and support the show.
