The event also witnessed a memorable show from the Bandelero, Pinchers, Tiger, Lady G, Terror Fabulous, and Courtney Melody. The seasoned acts were united with prolific tune-for-tune segments that rocked the crowd.

According to CEO, Isaiah Laing,
“Sting 2015 from then till now was a hundred percent incident free and I am grateful for that.
Majority of the veteran acts billed for the event performed. We would have loved more time; unfortunately the police decided to end the show prematurely. Over the past thirty-one years, they have always granted us additional time and have been cooperative. We made every effort to encourage an early turn out, especially with the gate prizes of free motorbikes being given away every hour. We will work closer with the artists and their managers to control their time and language on stage, to ensure everyone gets their turn to perform.
