The lineup of local artists participating in the festival is yet to be announced.
This will not be Kendrick Lamar’s first visit to South Africa. The rapper previously traveled to the country in 2014, during which he made stops in Durban, Johannesburg, and Cape Town.
One of the highlights of his trip was reportedly a visit to Robben Island, the place where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 18 years before becoming South Africa’s first black president.
The experience left a profound impact on Lamar, who drew inspiration from it. Reflecting on his journey, he expressed how it compelled him to introspect and draw upon his own experiences.
He acknowledged that his background was not always seen as promising, but he refused to let the limitations of his environment define him.
With Kendrick Lamar’s upcoming performance at the Hey Neighbour Festival, fans can expect an extraordinary showcase of his talent and a memorable experience.
