Carnival City has a hip hop and rap line-up planned for this August, kicking off the beat with the “Kwesta Legacy Concert” on Saturday, August 12, and then the highly anticipated concert, “Inkabi Zezwe Live” on Saturday, August 26.
“Spirit” hitmaker Kwesta is hosting the “Kwesta Legacy Concert” in Joburg and fans are in for a jam-packed night of high-energy performance at Carnival City.
The internationally recognised and award-winning South African rapper and songwriter has dubbed August a double celebration as he showcases his concert and also celebrates 16 years in the music industry on August 12.
The show takes place at The Big Top Arena, Carnival City.
To celebrate his legacy and his impact on popular culture, Kwesta launched “The 16th Bar Legacy Tour”.
Keeping true to his hip hop roots, the title of his tour is a play on words of the number of bars he tends to leave on every verse.
The tour kicked off with 15 shows in and around Gauteng and is building up to the 16th and final show at Carnival City. This is where the hitmaker will be joined by other stars.
Kwesta has worked with big names such as international singer Wale on the multi-platinum-selling single “Spirit”, as well as Grammy-Award-winning rapper Rick Ross and Rich Homie Quan.
The star recently released a collaborative album with the King of Amapiano, Kabza De Small, titled “Speak N Vrostaan”.
Tickets start from R250 and can be purchased through Computicket.
