From one hit track to another, Runtown delighted them with Kolabo, Fijo Gbowo, Emergency, Baby Answer, Bend Down, Pause and Superwoman and the entire crowd were thoroughly thrilled. Next was Megbele crooner, Omawumi, whose energetic contribution alongside her band was awesome.

Omawumi was followed by Afro-Pop queen, Yemi Alade, who also had an outstanding performance.

Timaya also resonated with the crowd and generally gave a good account of himself. The next edition of the show will be held at Trans Amadi area of Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
