RED BULL SYMPHONIC 2026 IS LOOKING FOR SOUTH AFRICA’S NEXT GREAT CHOIR TO TAKE THE STAGE

An open call for vocalists and choirs to perform alongside Vocal Hue, Sun-El Musician, Dlala Thukzin, Chad Hendricks, and a full symphonic orchestra at Montecasino on 13 & 14 June

Johannesburg, 22 May 2026: Red Bull Symphonic 2026 has already made history with a dual-headliner format and a record-breaking double sell-out. Now it’s making room for one more act and this one comes from the talented streets of South Africa.

Red Bull is calling on South Africa’s vocalists and choirs to audition for a place on the Symphonic stage. The winning group will join Vocal Hue choir and perform alongside Sun-El Musician, Dlala Thukzin, conductor Chad Hendricks, and a full symphonic orchestra across both nights of Afro House, Our Home at Montecasino on 13 and 14 June.

The choir has always been the heartbeat of Red Bull Symphonic, the element that turns an orchestral rearrangement into something you feel in your chest. Every note carries warmth, nostalgia, and a connection to the communal spirit that makes South African music unlike anything else on earth. This year, that heartbeat gets louder.

HOW TO ENTER

Assemble a choir of 4–8 members and record an a cappella video of your favourite Sun-El Musician or Dlala Thukzin track. Keep it under 90 seconds. Share the performance on your preferred social platform, tag #RedBullSymphonic, and the artists and submit your official entry via redbull.com/symphonicza The Choir Director will review all entries and select the winning group, who will then join the full Red Bull Symphonic rehearsal process and take the stage on both show nights.

Mzansi has the voices, Red Bull Symphonic has the stage, entries are open until the 30th of May.

Johannesburg, South Africa – March 27, 2026 – South African music powerhouse DJ Zinhle shakes up the music scene once again with the release of her highly anticipated new single, “Ezothando,” available today across all digital platforms.

A groundbreaking collaboration, Ezothando brings together a dynamic lineup of seven artists: Cebo, Mmata Magic, C Phe SA, Msindo Listo, Thobani White, and Nayvee Womculo, alongside DJ Zinhle herself. The track marks a powerful fusion of established and emerging talent, reflecting the ever-evolving sound of South African music.

At the heart of this release is an innovative and inclusive approach to music discovery. DJ Zinhle masterminded the rollout of Ezothando through a social media open verse challenge, which attracted over 2,000 entries from aspiring artists across the country. From this overwhelming response, two standout voices – Nayvee and Thobani White – earned their place on the official track, turning a viral moment into a life-changing opportunity.

This initiative is a true reflection of DJ Zinhle’s long-standing commitment to uplifting new talent. Throughout her career, she has consistently used her platform to open doors for undiscovered artists, and Ezothando stands as one of her most impactful efforts yet – not only discovering new voices but placing them on a major commercial release.

Sonically, Ezothando signals an exciting evolution in DJ Zinhle’s musical direction. The track is rooted in high-energy dance music, blending infectious rhythms, powerful vocals, and club-ready production to create a sound that is both distinctly South African and globally accessible. With Ezothando, DJ Zinhle once again proves why she remains at the forefront of the industry – not just as an artist, but as a visionary shaping the future of African music.
