This August, Pretoria won’t just be hosting another festival — it’ll be hosting a movement. At the heart of it? South Africa’s global music ambassador, Black Coffee, who’s set to headline The Neighbourhood with a performance that promises to be as iconic as his international run from Ibiza to Coachella.

And while the name alone would be enough to turn heads, there’s more brewing. Black Coffee isn’t coming alone. The superstar DJ is bringing a few surprise guests to join him on stage. However, that’s still under wraps — and part of the thrill.

Local Legends, Rising Stars, and Genre-Shifting Energy

While Black Coffee brings the global heat, the rest of the lineup reads like a celebration of the current moment in South African music. The day two roster alone is stacked with some of the country’s most compelling voices and beatmakers:

• Elaine – R&B’s velvet-voiced queen, master of the heartbreak anthem
• Akio – A genre-blurring DJ and cultural mainstay with deep roots in the scene
• DJ Nkosh – Afro-house with an emotional punch
• DJ Lochive – Deep, immersive sounds built for movement
• Muzi – The ever-experimental “Zulu Skywalker” redefining the sonic landscape
• Holly Rey – A radiant force in house music with soul to spare
• Khuli Chana – Motswako pioneer still spitting fire like it’s day one
• Tortured Soul – The New York trio returning to SA with live deep house and jazz-infused grooves
• Nia Pearl – Amapiano royalty in the making, with ethereal vocals
• Sun-EL Musician – A spiritual architect of Afro-electronic fusion
• Lulo Cafe – The deep house OG, still delivering the goods
• DJ Lag – Gqom heavyweight whose beats move more than just bodies
• Adillah – A versatile force behind the decks with an ear for vibes

And that’s just one day. More names — and surprises — are expected to drop as the event nears.
