The Open Mic Festival (OMF) has come into criticism from fans after the acts announced as part of their lineup this year did not include ST, Jizzle, Attack and popular boyband, Nobles. 

Voicing his dismay, Facebook user Kikiswan Sanneh wrote: "No ST., no Jizzle, no Attack, no Nobles...this s worst OMF." 

Another Gambian music enthusiast commented: "No ST that night. What happened?" 

This year's festival will take place at the Jakarlo Centre Stage, Senegambia on the 25th & 26th December. The artists confirmed to perform include Royal Messenjah, Jali Madi, Barhama and Kombonka. 

The only female singer added to the bill is Miss Jobizz. 

The Open Mic Festival is the country's biggest entertainment event.
