Cape Town — Excitement is building up ahead of Cape Town’s biggest party of the year, as Zakes Bantwini prepares to headline his very own Abantu music festival.
The festival is set to take place this coming weekend on Saturday 28 October and will take place at DHL Stadium. Zakes is the headline act and is the first local artist to headline an event at the stadium.
Some of the other supporting acts includes YoungstaCPT, Boity Thulo, Mi Casa, Jeremy Loops and Goldfish, among many other young talented local artists.
Zakes also announced that the Rugby World Cup final against New Zealand will also be shown on the big screen, so concertgoers won’t miss out on the action.
“It’s with great pleasure and excitement that we announce the country’s biggest fan park and World Cup Final screening at the @dhlstadium @abantuthepeopleza @cityofcapetown on the 28th of October 2023! WE WILL BE SCREENING THE FULL GAME”

According to IOL, the event showcases Zakes’ vision of creating an inclusive event boasting various performances and stages for patrons to choose from.
“We’ve created something special, and I can’t wait for everyone to experience what we have in store. ‘Abantu’ was created for the people and with the surprises we have in place, I’m confident we’ve curated a uniquely South African concert for the books.” Zakes said.
Mayoral committee member for safety and security Alderman JP Smith said: “To ensure the safety of pedestrians and concert-goers, a few roads surrounding DHL Stadium will be closed.”
“We look forward to welcoming everyone to this historic event and encourage everyone to have a safe and enjoyable time.”
