The sponsorship, which allows Digicel to gain naming rights, will assist in staging the event scheduled on April 30.

Musicians and bands, whose songs had been frequently requested by listeners on YUMIFM in 2015, will finally be recognized on the night for their effort in promoting PNG style music.
