Johannesburg is set to come alive this spring as the much-anticipated DStv Delicious International Food & Music Festival returns on Saturday 20th – Sunday 21st September 2025 at the legendary Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit. Renowned as Africa’s biggest lifestyle and entertainment celebration, the festival promises yet another unforgettable fusion of global music legends, world-class cuisine, and electrifying cultural experiences.
This year, the Sunday Main Stage Line-Up reads like a dream. At the helm is none other than the incomparable Ms. Lauryn Hill, bringing her timeless voice and iconic artistry to South African soil. Adding to the magic, her longtime collaborator and Fugees bandmate Wyclef Jean will join her on stage, promising an explosive reunion filled with nostalgic anthems and fresh energy.
Carrying forward a legacy of reggae royalty, YG Marley and Zion Marley – grandchildren of the immortal Bob Marley – will infuse the stage with youthful fire and roots rhythms. Their presence signals a celebration of heritage, unity, and music that transcends generations.
South Africa’s own musical gems will shine just as brightly. Songbird Lira, the soulful Mandisi Dyantyis, jazz enchantress Zoë Modiga, and legendary DJ Oskido will showcase the depth of local talent. In addition, the festival welcomes the much-loved Joyous Celebration Rewind, ensuring that gospel harmonies and spiritual upliftment echo across Kyalami.
But the music is only half the story. The DStv Delicious Festival has carved its identity as a playground of taste and style, offering gourmet food experiences curated by world-renowned chefs, vibrant food markets, art exhibitions, and lifestyle activations that create a feast for all senses.
Festival-goers can expect an immersive weekend where international icons meet African excellence, where food and rhythm intertwine, and where memories are etched under the Johannesburg sky.
As anticipation builds, organizers promise more artists, performers, and attractions still to be announced, ensuring that this year’s edition will surpass every expectation.
Tickets are already available via Ticketmaster, and with a line-up of this magnitude, they’re expected to sell out fast.
The countdown has officially begun. In September, Kyalami won’t just host a festival—it will host history.
