The festivities kicked off with a powerful opening act by Lloyiso Gijana, accompanied by The Parktown Boys Band and the talented Edenglen High School Choir, winners of the 2023 School Invasion Choir Competition.

However, one of the most anticipated moments of the evening was the unveiling of Pepsi's new logo. Four lucky audience members were chosen to piece together a puzzle revealing the new logo, with each walking away with a year's supply of Pepsi products.
