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.
