With just days to go before one of the year’s most anticipated musical events, the organisers of Scorpion Kings Live have unveiled a star-studded pre-show lineup that promises to ignite the FNB Stadium crowd long before the headline act takes the stage. The announcement, which dropped on Monday, has sent fans into a frenzy, with many already planning to arrive early to catch the full roster of talent.
The pre-show will feature a dynamic blend of South Africa’s hottest musical genres, with performances from amapiano heavyweights Dlala Thukzin and MDU aka TRP, vocal powerhouse Sam Deep, hip-hop lyricist A-Reece, and the genre-blending Stixx and Shandesh. The lineup is designed to build anticipation and energy before the legendary duo DJ Maphorisa and Kabza De Small—the undisputed “kings of amapiano”—take over the stage for the main event.
Social media has been buzzing with excitement, with fans hailing the pre-show as a festival within a festival. One enthusiast called the bill “a dream lineup of amapiano princes,” while others have been showing off custom event jerseys and planning group outings to the iconic stadium. The organisers have confirmed that field tickets are still available for purchase through Webtickets, with a special promotion for Standard Bank cardholders.
The Scorpion Kings Live event has become a staple on South Africa’s entertainment calendar, regularly selling out venues and drawing crowds from across the country. This year’s edition, set to take place at the FNB Stadium, is expected to be the biggest yet, with thousands of fans ready to experience the fusion of beats, lights, and spectacle that has defined the brand.
As the countdown begins, the message from organisers is clear: arrive early, bring your energy, and get ready for a night that will go down in amapiano history.
