The Venue Debate: Is Glamis Arena Big Enough for One Big Party?
Report By: Oudney Patsika, Nakiso TV
As excitement reaches fever pitch ahead of the One Big Party scheduled for December 31, a critical question has emerged: Is Glamis Arena large enough to contain the combined star power of Zimbabwe’s music giants?
A Clash of Musical Giants
The event is expected to be one of Zimbabwe’s biggest entertainment highlights of the year, headlined by the legendary Jah Prayzah and the Gaffa himself, Winky D. Their joint appearance is a major attraction for fans travelling from across the country to usher in the New Year.

| Winky D and Jah Prayzah Debate |
Jah Prayzah
Known for his elaborate stage productions and the massive "Military Touch" following, JP consistently draws diverse crowds across all social backgrounds.
Winky D
With socially conscious music that resonates deeply with the streets and the elite alike, the Vigilance family ensures a massive turnout wherever he performs.
The "Doek & Slay" Factor
The debate over the venue intensified following the recent Doek & Slay event. This ladies-only show filled Glamis Arena to capacity, raising eyebrows about what will happen when a mixed demographic descends on the venue.
With two giants on the lineup, some fans are calling on organisers to consider moving the event to a larger venue, such as the National Sports Stadium, to avoid potential overcrowding, long queues, and restricted movement.
Safety vs. Experience
The conversation has shifted from ticket sales to safety. Entertainment commentators have noted that the success of the event hinges on logistics.
Crowd Control
The question is not whether fans will attend, but whether the venue can handle them without compromising safety and enjoyment. Effective entry and exit strategies will be paramount.
Organizer Readiness
Industry insiders suggest that rather than changing venues at the 11th hour, organisers are likely focusing on strengthening logistics. Glamis Arena has hosted major shows before, suggesting the team is prepared.
Is a Change Necessary?
Not everyone agrees that a venue change is required. Supporters argue that crowd management strategies for a mixed event differ significantly from those of a themed, single-demographic show.
“Organisers know what they are doing,” noted another fan. “They have worked with big crowds before. Comparing every event to Doek & Slay might not be fair.”
