Known for its electrifying atmosphere and stellar lineup, the Youth Hip-Hop Festival has become a highlight on Durban's cultural calendar. This year's edition is no exception, boasting an impressive roster of top-tier hip-hop artists alongside the burgeoning stars of the amapiano scene.


Hip-hop heavyweights like Sjava, OkMalumkoolkat, Blxckie, KO, Zakwe, Dlala Thukzin, and the Kweyama Brothers are set to grace the stage, promising unforgettable performances that will have the crowd on their feet.


But what sets this year apart is the festival's evolution. In response to the growing popularity of amapiano music, organizers have decided to incorporate the genre into the lineup, offering attendees a diverse musical experience.


"We wanted to shake things up this year and offer our audience a fresh experience," says organizer Junior Lavie. "By incorporating amapiano into the lineup, we're catering to a broader range of musical tastes and creating an inclusive space for all music lovers."


Hip-hop sensation Zakwe is particularly excited to showcase his latest singles and inject some new flavor into the hip-hop scene. "I can't wait to hit the stage and share my music with the fans," Zakwe exclaims. "It's always special performing at events like these, and I'm honored to be a part of it."


While this year's festival couldn't secure an international star due to time constraints, Junior Lavie assures fans that next year's lineup will feature a global artist, promising an even bigger and better experience.


In addition to the incredible music lineup, attendees can look forward to a vibrant atmosphere, delicious food and drinks, and opportunities to connect with fellow music enthusiasts.

Tickets for the Youth Hip-Hop Festival are now available for R200 through Webticket. Don't miss out on this unforgettable day of music, culture, and community as Durban comes alive with the sounds of hip-hop and amapiano.
