Celebrate Youth Day with a thumping party with The Heavyweights

Buoyed by the super success of the inaugural Heavyweights music event in 2015, Carnival City is gearing up for the second installment which will feature a host of award winning Hip-hop artists and DJs on the decks on 16 June 2016 (Youth Day).

The Heavyweights music festival, organized by Thikho Events, promises all the thumping music – and more – that fans enjoyed last year. This year’s event will see award winning house music heads and hip hop DJs in the mix. Amongst these is AKA, the 2016 Metro FM Award Winner for Best Hit Single and Collaboration for his hit song “Baddest” featuring Burna Boy, Khuli Chana and Yanga.
Also billed to perform at the event is KWESTA (DAKAR), a Metro FM Awards 2016 Nominee, who recently released the hit singles “Ingudu”, featuring Cassper Nyovest and “Nomanyini”, as well as his long awaited double album Dakar II.

Another well-known artist performing is EMTEE, one of the biggest Metro FM Awards winners for 2016. He won the awards for Best Remix Roll Up, Best Hip Hop album, Best Music Video Roll Up and Listener’s Choice. PRINCE KAYBEE, the winner of the Metro FM Award for Best Dance Album as well as the MAJOR LEAGUE DJZ will also be on top form for fans at The Heavyweights.
True to its promise to provide a platform for showcasing emerging talent, Thikho Events has included on the bill a number of supporting acts including Yanga, K2, Infinite Boys, DJ Kgotso, DJ Levis, Mageza and Moscow and DJ Funkycodes.

“We are thrilled to confirm the 2016 installment of The Heavyweights and look forward to bringing more of the top names in house and hip hop music to our stage. Thumping music and dazzling dancing will combine for an audio-and visual feast of note,” says Michelle Smith, the Marketing Manager at Carnival City.

Tickets are available at Computicket and cost from R125 per person for general admission and R400 for VIP. The Heavyweights takes place in Carnival City’s ample Big Top Arena from 11h30.
