The countdown to Hey Neighbour 2025 is officially on, and the festival is dialing things up in every possible way. Returning to Legends Adventure Park in Pretoria on 30 and 31 August, the highly anticipated event has locked in its official media partner — Jacaranda FM — as preparations for another unforgettable weekend get underway.
Now in its second edition after a standout debut in 2023, Hey Neighbour is positioning itself as one of the continent’s premier music festivals, blending global talent with a strong homegrown presence. The 2025 lineup reflects exactly that, with Doja Cat, Black Coffee, Leon Thomas, and Central Cee headlining alongside South African favourites like Elaine, Khuli Chana, Muzi, Sun-El Musician, and more. Additional acts are still expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
As media partner, Jacaranda FM will provide broadcast support and coverage of the event across its platforms, offering listeners updates and content from the build-up to the festival weekend itself. The collaboration was described by both parties as an alignment of shared values around music, entertainment, and community connection.

“We’re incredibly excited to welcome Jacaranda FM,” said festival founder Glen Netshipise. “Their reach and understanding of the local entertainment space make this a natural fit for what we’re creating with Hey Neighbour.”
Beyond the music, fans can expect high-end production, interactive installations, and a festival atmosphere designed to celebrate culture, creativity, and connection.
General access and VIP passes are available now at heyneighbour.co.za. If last year’s event is anything to go by, this one will sell fast.
