Make sure that the 27th of May is in your diary, as the Bassline Africa Day Concert hosts it’s 13th consecutive year and continues to top itself in terms of production value, as well as not only showcasing new artists, but bringing musical acts that South Africans, do not always get to enjoy on the live stage.
Once again presented by the Department of Arts & Culture, this concert series is one that is growing from strength to strength, as more musical acts from across the continent come together for one special day and night of unity and celebration.
This year the series will go above and beyond as artists from Nigeria, Ghana, Congo and beyond share the stage with talent from South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Niger – with new artists still being confirmed. The organisers are also excited to announce that they have secured a new, larger and more accessible venue at Johannesburg Expo Centre (Nasrec).
The show is backed by some of the Bassline Live’s family of sponsors that have supported not only the Africa Day Concert series in the past, but many other of the Bassline Live regular events. These brands include SABIbev, Nandos, Kaya FM and TRACE Africa.
Confirmed artists:
Jah Prayzah – Zimbabwe, Thandiswa Mazwai – South Africa, Petite Noir – Belgium/South Africa, Baloji – Congo, Bombino – Niger, Vusi Mahlasela – South Africa, Ray Phiri – South Africa, Jobie Clarke – South Africa, Jojo Abbott – Ghana.
