This event is a first for this region, and brings a unique addition to Center Stage Management's (CSM) festival portfolio.

 This is an event created by the youth, for the youth.

CSM have recognized the need to organize an event, that specifically caters for the often overlooked and ignored 18 and under age group and it combines international entertainment, exciting games and GEMS schools.

Students at the GEMS schools voted for the international musical artist that they wanted to see perform on the main stage at this unique event, no other than Alien Ant Farm!

We also created many unique competitions with huge prizes, many of which includde the chance to perform live, in front of thousands, on the main stage at the festival.

Unique mentorship programmes will be developped, where participants can work alongside and learn from key Industry professionals, on how to create, manage and run a certain position in a company.

This event was also open to non GEMS pupils.
