One of South Africa’s most beloved festivals, the DStv Delicious International Food & Music Festival, is making a thrilling return this September — and this year’s edition is shaping up to be its biggest yet.
Headlining the 2025 festival is none other than Lauryn Hill, who will be performing as part of her 25th Anniversary Tour for the iconic The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill album. She will be joined by fellow Fugees star Wyclef Jean, promising an unforgettable reunion for fans of the legendary hip-hop group.
Also gracing the stage are Ziggy Marley and his son YG Marley, bringing their globally beloved reggae sounds to the South African audience.
A Heritage Month Celebration Like No Other
Set to take place on 20 and 21 September 2025 at the Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit in Midrand, Gauteng, the festival coincides perfectly with Heritage Month, offering a celebration of music, culture, and cuisine.
Alongside the international stars, a stellar lineup of local talent will take center stage:
-
Joyous Celebration Rewind will uplift crowds with soul-stirring gospel performances featuring the likes of Khaya Mthethwa, a former Idols SA winner and multiple award recipient.
-
Mandisi Dyantyis, celebrated for his fusion of African sounds and jazz, will perform with Zoe Modiga, the acclaimed Afro-jazz vocalist recognized by Glamour and the Standard Bank Young Artist Awards.
-
The ever-inspiring Lira, an 11-time SAMA Award winner, is also set to perform as she continues her musical comeback.
