The kings of amapiano, DJ Maphorisa and Kabza De Small, are igniting excitement as they gear up for one of the biggest live music spectacles of the year. In Episode 1 of their brand-new docuseries Meet Our Friends, the duo unveils the first wave of powerhouse performers who will join them on stage at Scorpion Kings Live with Friends, set to take over Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Pretoria on 29 August 2025.
True to their legacy of collaboration and culture-shifting sounds, the Scorpion Kings are bringing their musical family to the fore for this historic night. “Everything we’ve done, we’ve done with our people – from studio sessions to stadiums. It’s only right that we bring them with us for this moment,” they shared in a joint statement. “These aren’t just features – they’re friends, they’re family, and they’ve helped shape the journey.”
In this first wave of confirmed acts, fans can look forward to electrifying performances from Daliwonga, Young Stunna, Mlindo The Vocalist, Msaki, and Phila Dlozi. Each artist has played a pivotal role in crafting the soundscape that defines both DJ Maphorisa and Kabza De Small’s careers—from amapiano chart-toppers to soul-stirring anthems.
