South Africa’s biggest race weekend just got even bigger. Hennessy has officially unveiled the full lineup for Hennessy Presents: Kabza and Friends (Durban July Edition), bringing together some of the country’s most influential names in music for what promises to be one of the standout events of Durban July weekend.
Taking place on Friday, 03 July 2026, at The Station in Stamford Hill, Durban, the event will see Amapiano pioneer Kabza De Small take centre stage not only as the headline act but also as the curator behind an unforgettable night of music and culture.
Known as the King of Amapiano, Kabza has assembled a lineup that reflects the diversity and energy of South Africa’s current music landscape, bringing together artists who continue to shape the sound of a generation.
“When I was curating this lineup, I wanted to bring together the people who are actively shaping the sound of South African music right now, alongside some of the incredible artists I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with in the studio. I’m really looking forward to stepping onto that stage; we are going to create a moment Durban won’t forget,” said Kabza De Small.
Joining him on the lineup are some of the country’s most exciting performers, including Dlala Thukzin, Mdu aka TRP, Dankie Boi, Zawadi Yamungu, Kitchen Mess, DJ Tira, Leehleza, Stanky and Funky QLA.
