Artist On The Rise is an initiative of Homecoming Events that was conceptualised with the purpose of assisting up and coming artist and musicians mainly around Pretoria and Johannesburg, giving them a platform to showcase their talent. Artists who have participated in the programme the previous year were afforded the opportunity to showcase their skill on the Homecoming Africa stage alongside some of the country’s biggest stars.

In order to assist young up and coming artists in dealing with challenges that are faced in the industry, Homecoming Events hosted the AOTR music workshop at the African Beer Emporium.
