The doors are expected to be open at 18h00 and the show will kick start at 19h00.

The upcoming show is poised to be an electrifying experience, bringing the King of energetic beats ‘Mr Somatekisi’ dynamic energy and storytelling to the forefront.

Known for his powerful storytelling through music, Big Zulu said this one-man show is not just a performance, but a narrative of triumph.

Despite being a one man show, the rapper will be supported by creative collective such as Lwah Ndlunkulu, Gatsheni, DJ Zinhle, Amos, Nkosazana Daughter, Xolelwa, Black Diamond, Mnqobi Yazo, Master KG, just to name but a few.

“Words can’t express the gratitude I have for all the love and support I’ve had ever since I started [my] music journey,” Big Zulu said.

He writes and produces his own material and boasts several multiple awards-selling albums and a list of awards and nominations too long to stipulate in detail.

Growing up in the cold and snowy surroundings of Bergville in the Drakensberg in KwaZulu Natal, Big Zulu gained fame after releasing the single “Donsa Nkabi” in 2016.
