SCORPION KINGS LIVE RETURNS TO MAKE HISTORY AT FNB STADIUM

SCORPION KINGS LIVE RETURNS TO MAKE HISTORY AT FNB STADIUM

by | May 5, 2026 | Entertainment | 2 comments

Following the resounding success of the landmark Scorpion Kings Live [with Friends] in 2025, the Scorpion Kings are set to raise the bar once again as they officially announce Scorpion Kings Live at FNB, taking place on 19 September 2026 at FNB Stadium.

After a historic night at Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Pretoria last year, where tens of thousands of fans gathered in a powerful celebration of Amapiano culture, the movement now evolves into something even bigger. The 2025 edition marked a defining moment – a cultural convergence of music, fashion, and community – cementing the Scorpion Kings’ position as global pioneers of the genre.

Now, in 2026, the vision expands with an anticipated audience of over 70,000 fans! Scorpion Kings Live at FNB is set to become the largest Amapiano concert in the world – transforming one of Africa’s most iconic sporting venues, nicknamed The Calabash; into a living, breathing tribute to the sound that has taken over global dance floors.

 

This year, Scorpion Kings Live is A Family Affair – extending the genre’s roots to community, connection, and shared experience. More than just a concert, the event will celebrate the extended Amapiano family – from artists and collaborators to fans who have carried the sound across borders and into new spaces.

 

Reflecting on last year’s milestone and the journey ahead, DJ Maphorisa shared –

“Loftus was a moment we’ll never forget – the energy, the love, the unity. It showed us just how far Amapiano has come. But for us, that was only the beginning. FNB Stadium is about taking that feeling and amplifying it for the world to see.”

 

Co-visionary, Kabza De Small, added –  “Every Scorpion Kings Live show is about growth – not just for us, but for the culture. ‘A Family Affair’ is exactly what this is. It’s about bringing everyone together again, bigger than ever, and creating something unforgettable.”

 

As some of the architects of the Amapiano movement, the Scorpion Kings continue to push boundaries, redefining what a live music experience can be. Each edition of the show builds on the last, evolving into a cultural landmark that resonates far beyond the music.

 

Fans can expect an elevated world-class production, an electrifying lineup, and an immersive experience that reflects the scale, influence, and global reach of Amapiano today.

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.
