Travis Scott’s Johannesburg Concert to Feature South Africa’s Hip-Hop Royalty

Kwesta, A-Reece, 25K, and Touchline set to share the stage with U.S. rap star at FNB Stadium

Global rap superstar Travis Scott is set to electrify Johannesburg on Saturday, October 11, 2025, with his record-breaking tour making a much-anticipated stop at FNB Stadium. The show, presented under the Castle Lite Unlocks banner, marks Scott’s second performance in South Africa and promises to be one of the biggest hip-hop events in recent years.

The concert comes off the back of Scott’s Utopia–Circus Maximus Tour, which has shattered records to become the highest-grossing solo rap tour of all time.

Local Hip-Hop Stars to Share the Stage

In a move that has thrilled fans, the event organizers have curated a stellar line-up of South Africa’s finest rappers to perform alongside Scott. Kwesta, regarded as one of the country’s most celebrated lyricists, will headline the local contingent.

Joining him are chart-topping rapper A-Reece, Pretoria native 25K, and lyrical powerhouse Touchline. Together, the four artists represent the cream of Mzansi’s hip-hop talent.

A First-Ever Collaboration

Adding to the excitement, Kwesta revealed in a video that he has collaborated with A-Reece, 25K, and Touchline for the very first time, preparing a special performance for the Johannesburg audience.

“All four of us have been carrying the hip-hop culture in different ways, but this is the first time we’re coming together on stage,” Kwesta said. “We’re bringing something new and unforgettable.”

Fans are eagerly anticipating what could become a historic moment for South African rap, showcasing the unity and creative strength of the local scene.

Venue Set to Be Packed

The Goldrush Dome at FNB Stadium is expected to be filled to capacity, with fans eager to witness both Travis Scott and the lineup of South Africa’s best. With Scott’s global popularity and the strong local support for the featured artists, ticket demand has been overwhelming.

For many fans, this will be their first chance to see Scott live in Mzansi, as his previous visit drew massive crowds and unforgettable reviews.

Safety Measures Emphasized

While the energy surrounding the event is electric, organizers are also emphasizing safety. Past Travis Scott concerts abroad have drawn scrutiny over crowd control and safety incidents, most notably the Astroworld tragedy in 2021.

Addressing concerns, Castle Lite Unlocks reassured fans through their PR agency, Capacity Relations. “Safety is always a top priority, and we understand fans may have questions,” the brand stated.

The organizers added that Big Concerts and Live Nation, two companies with extensive experience in staging international shows in South Africa, will oversee logistics, operations, and crowd safety.

Sponsors’ Commitment to Fans

As the main sponsor, Castle Lite stressed its commitment to connecting fans with the biggest global acts while ensuring a controlled and secure atmosphere. “We fully trust that every necessary step will be taken to create a safe, controlled, and unforgettable experience for everyone attending,” the brand confirmed.

This reassurance has gone a long way to calming fan concerns while keeping the focus firmly on the music.

A Milestone for SA Hip-Hop

For South African hip-hop, the concert represents more than just a performance. It is an opportunity for local talent to stand on an international stage, side by side with one of the biggest names in global rap.

Kwesta, A-Reece, 25K, and Touchline have each carved out unique legacies within Mzansi’s music scene, and their collective presence at the concert highlights the strength and diversity of the country’s hip-hop culture.

Fans, industry insiders, and fellow artists alike are hailing the event as a milestone moment that will elevate South Africa’s place in the global hip-hop conversation.

Looking Ahead

As the countdown to October 11 begins, Johannesburg is bracing for a weekend of music, energy, and cultural celebration. With an explosive combination of Travis Scott’s high-octane stage presence and the lyrical firepower of South Africa’s top rappers, the event promises to be one of 2025’s defining concerts.

If all goes to plan, the night could mark both a triumph for Scott’s global tour and a turning point in showcasing African hip-hop talent to the world.
