International Food and Music Festival Powered by LottoStar
Tickets are now available for South Africa’s greatest showcase of food, music, art and fashion.
Johannesburg, July 2025: This year The DStv Delicious International Food and Music
Festival Powered by LottoStar promises a vibrant fusion of flavours, sound, and celebration.
On 20 and 21 September, the iconic Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit will come alive with dynamic
activations, festive experiences, and a rich tapestry of musical eras, genres, and styles across
two stages.
It’s in the South African DNA to embrace creativity that explores the intricate layers between
the traditional & modern, youthful & nostalgic or international & local, and this year’s festival
continues that trend. On what promises to be a spirit-filled Sunday, South Africa’s prized gospel
group Joyous Celebration Rewind will spread upliftment with selected alumni, including the
Idols South Africa and SABC Crown Gospel Award-winning Khaya Mthetwa. Afterwards,
the SAMA Award-winning and NAACP Award-nominated Mandisi Dyantyis will grace the
stage with his fusion of indigenous African music and jazz idioms. Zoë Modiga, a recipient of
both Glamour’s Woman of the Year: Musician Game Changer Award and Standard Bank’s
Young Artist Award in 2023, will complement this with her own stirring, afro-realist take on
jazz.
The fantastic musical pairings continue throughout the day as the 11-time SAMA Award-
winning queen of South African Afro-soul, Lira, continues her triumphant return to stage. Lira’s
delightful blend of afropop, r&b and jazz will coalesce with the nostalgic hip-hop/soul of Ms.
Lauryn Hill, who will deliver an incomparable performance with longtime collaborator Wyclef
Jean as musical guest. Poised to turn the lights down low on a memorable weekend, the 8-time
Grammy Award-winning Ms. Hill arrives on our shores alongside Zion Marley & YG Marley,
as the duo make special appearances in celebration of the Miseducation of Lauryn Hill 25th
Anniversary Tour. With hits like ‘Zion’, the 70s-inspired ‘Doo Wop (That Thing)’ and
‘Everything Is Everything’, Ms. Lauryn Hill‘s revered offering was selected as the Best Album
of All Time by Apple Music, and now South Africans get a chance to relive the magic of the
album with this icon LIVE!
Indulging in this blend of sounds is the perfect way to round off a festival that fuses everything
together, so make sure not to miss either of these acts! This weekend of extravagance is driven
by the signature diversity of the nation, and even more excitement is to be expected from the
eclectic talents who will strut their stuff on The Channel O Dance Stage. In The DStv
Delicious Festival Powered by LottoStar‘s true style, there’ll be a wide range of other
experiences to sample too, with vibrant expressions of local food, art, and fashion to indulge in!
Picking up from the unforgettable moments of previous iterations, this 12th edition of The DStv
Delicious Festival Powered by LottoStar will be an experiential weekend with timeless
sounds, local treats and global acts.
“It’s incredible to be back at the iconic Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit, and we can’t wait to
welcome fans to a weekend that celebrates us all through music and food as we come together
during Heritage Month,” says Funeka Peppeta, Marketing Director of The DStv Delicious
International Food & Music Festival Powered by LottoStar. “We’re proud to announce the
phenomenal artist lineup for Sunday, with Saturday’s main acts and the Channel O Dance
