Davido Joins the Star-Studded Scorpion Kings Live With Friends Concert
Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Davido, fresh from tying the knot, is now the latest exciting addition to the lineup for Scorpion Kings Live with Friends, set to light up Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Pretoria on Friday, 29 August.
More than just another music festival, this event, produced in partnership with Metro FM and Converse, promises to be a pan-African celebration, honoring no less a legend than South African musical icon Caiphus Semenya.
“A Continental Moment”
DJ Maphorisa and Kabza De Small, the dynamic duo behind Scorpion Kings, made it clear why having Davido on board is a big deal:
“Davido is part of the family. His presence enhances this moment to be truly continental.”
“We’ve curated this lineup to create a historic occasion.”
A Lineup to Remember
The main stage will feature an extraordinary mix of African talent, among them:
Ami Faku, Cassper Nyovest, Daliwonga, Focalistic, Kamo Mphela, Kwesta, Mafikizolo, Mlindo The Vocalist, Msaki, Njelic, Nkosazana Daughter, Oskido, Sjava, Young Stunna, and of course, featuring Davido on that main stage.
But the excitement doesn’t start there. The pre-show will bring even more buzz, with performances from 25K, Blxckie, Christos, DBN Gogo, Dihno, Dlala Thukzin, Vinny Da Vinci and others.
Honouring a Musical Legend
A standout moment of the night will be the tribute to Caiphus Semenya, celebrating his decades of musical excellence. Kabza and Maphorisa recently paid him a personal visit, and plan to premiere a remix of one of his timeless classics, blending his heritage with amapiano’s modern sound.
A Historic Occasion in African Music
With Davido’s inclusion, the legendary acknowledgment of Caiphus Semenya, and a vibrant roster of artists, Betway Presents Scorpion Kings Live with Friends is shaping up to become the most significant Amapiano and African music festival in South African history.
