According to the promoters of the event the new additions to the line up came after the main headliner for the show had a sudden cancellation.
"Well what had happened was dancehall deejay Elephant Man was suppose to be the headliner for this years show. We went ahead and booked him but later found out he had other engagements in Europe so we had to shuffle a bit. Last year Ele came and gave a great performance so in his absence we plan on having a dance segment with his songs for the kids".
Amongst the other acts slated to hit the Family Fun Fest stage are D Angel, Q.Q, Ken Booth, Tanice Morrison, Apache Chief & Sarge, members of Dance Expressions plus many more.
