The Scorpion Kings are looking to ensure that their planned takeover of Johannesburg becomes an all-day affair as they announce a heavy pre-show featuring many South African artists ahead of Scorpion Kings Live on 19 September 2026.
Early arrivals at the show should expect a variety of sounds ranging from Amapiano, hip hop, house, Bacardi and Maskandi, which set the tone for the planned music festival.

Bacardi will be represented by a unique showcasing performance, which features Big Baller CEO, Black Boy, Sia The Bee and Zela Force among the other featured acts.
Maskandi, which is one of South Africa’s oldest musical genres, will be also given a chance in the program, featuring performances by Mnotho, Mjabulisi, Mjolisi, Shenge Wasehlalankosi and Jikjiki.
An extended program is designed to get the party started long before the main event, giving fans an opportunity to enjoy different performances and celebrating the rich diversity of the South African music industry.
