Grammy-winning artist Zakes Bantwini is ready to set Johannesburg alight as the Mayonie Open Air Festival makes its highly anticipated return on November 30 at Constitution Hill.
Known for pushing boundaries and blending genres, Zakes describes the event as more than just a festival, it’s a cultural experience.
“Mayonie Open Air is a gathering of generations. A celebration of who we are. This is a reminder that evolution is meant to be felt,” he said.
The festival will bring together music lovers from all walks of life, paying homage to the soulful roots of 90s house while embracing the progressive sounds that continue to define South Africa’s music scene today.
Choosing Constitution Hill as the venue adds an even deeper layer of meaning, with the historic site symbolising freedom, resilience and the power of expression.
Against this backdrop, Zakes promises a musical journey that honours heritage while looking boldly to the future.
