Burna Boy, Sjava, The Kwani Experience and More Added to Afropunk Joburg Lineup

Afropunk just announced a few additions to what's already a dreamy lineup for their Joburg event taking place on the 30th and 31st of December. Burna Boy and South African acts such as Sjava, Zara Julius, The Kwani Experience, Urban Village, Kenya's Blinky Bill and Brazil's Batekoo have all been added to the festival's bill.


Rico Nasty is notably missing in the updated poster on which the latest additions reflect. The new names join the likes of Miguel, Solange, Masego, Busiswa, Distruction Boyz and a lot more.

The festival has been running in South Africa since 2017, and has grown to be one of the biggest entries on the country's music and social events.
