The iconic Sun City Superbowl is set to come alive as Young Stunna and Shandesh headline the second annual Ziyakhala Mo Sun City on Saturday, 27 June 2026 in the North West Province.
As two of the most exciting voices shaping South Africa’s current soundscape, Young Stunna and Shandesh represent the pulse of a new generation. Their headlining status signals a bold, youth-driven direction for the festival, blending amapiano’s global dominance with the rising cultural wave of lekompo.
A New Generation Meets Legendary Sounds
While Young Stunna and Shandesh lead the lineup, the event continues to honour musical excellence across generations. Audiences can expect performances from renowned acts including Mafikizolo, Khuli Chana, Khuzani, and Dr. Colbert Mukwevho, alongside a diverse lineup that celebrates the richness of Mzansi’s musical heritage.
This fusion of emerging stars and established icons ensures a dynamic experience that reflects both where South African music comes from — and where it’s going.
A Cultural Movement Powered by the SABC
In partnership with the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) and its nine African Language radio stations, Ziyakhala Mo Sun City continues to champion cultural expression and indigenous storytelling.
Broadcasting in all nine official African languages, the SABC plays a critical role in preserving and amplifying African identity through music — a mission that comes to life on stage through this powerful showcase.
Siphelele Sixaso, GM of SABC Public Broadcasting Service radio stations, shared:
“One of the visions of SABC is to inspire minds and empower lives. African music is a defining cultural feature that unites us and gives us a shared sense of identity.”
More Than a Concert — A Celebration of Ubuntu
Ziyakhala Mo Sun City is more than just a music event; it is a celebration rooted in Ubuntu — the spirit of unity, connection, and shared joy. Through music, the festival creates a space where audiences from different backgrounds come together to celebrate what it means to be proudly South African.
Sun City: A Stage for Icons and Rising Stars
Sun City General Manager Brett Hoppé reflected on the event’s growth:
“After a resounding success in 2025, we’re excited to bring this experience back. Sun City has hosted global icons, but it’s equally special to celebrate homegrown talent — especially artists like Young Stunna and Shandesh who are shaping the future of our music.”
With over four decades of entertainment history, the Sun City Superbowl remains one of the country’s most iconic venues — now hosting a new era of cultural expression led by its next generation of stars.
