Even though, there are no headcount figures on how many people were at Bull Dog Wandegeya were the event was held, by midnight, the venue was filled to capacity and entries were highly restricted.
In attendance were about 200 musicians, about 50 media personals, several event organizers such as Balaam, and Renal Ibra of High School Kadanke. This was in additional to hundreds of revelers that graced the show.

Bebe Cool, Rema Young Mulo, Eddy Kenzo, Larry and Coopy Bly were at their best as they excited their fans.
Bebe Cool particularly performed songs such as Cease and Sekkle, Big Size, Ndiisa Buuti, Ntuyo Zange and Kamwako.
