Amapiano stars DJ Maphorisa and Kabza De Small are gearing up for what could become a landmark moment in the genre’s history, with plans to stage their biggest show yet at FNB Stadium on 19 September 2026.

The duo, widely recognised as the Scorpion Kings, are aiming to fill one of Africa’s largest venues with more than 70,000 attendees, following the success of their previous live showcase.

The ambitious move reflects the growing global reach of Amapiano and positions the concert as a potential record-breaking event.

This year’s showcase will be held under the theme “A Family Affair”, placing emphasis not only on the performers but also on the wider community that has played a role in elevating the genre beyond South Africa’s borders.

Amapiano’s Global Rise Takes Centre Stage 

Organisers say the concert will bring together collaborators, emerging talent and fans in a celebration that goes beyond a standard live performance. The event is being framed as a cultural gathering that highlights the evolution and international influence of Amapiano.

Reflecting on their journey so far, DJ Maphorisa described their previous stadium experience as a defining milestone.

“Loftus was a moment we’ll never forget – the energy, the love, the unity. It showed us just how far Amapiano has come. But for us, that was only the beginning. FNB Stadium is about taking that feeling and amplifying it for the world to see.”

Scorpion Kings Promise Bigger, Immersive Live Experience

Kabza De Small shared a similar outlook, pointing to growth and unity as the core of the upcoming event.

“Every Scorpion Kings Live show is about growth – not just for us, but for the culture. ‘A Family Affair’ is exactly what this is. It’s about bringing everyone together again, bigger than ever, and creating something unforgettable.”

Known for delivering energetic and immersive performances, the Scorpion Kings are expected to elevate their production even further, combining large-scale staging with a line-up of established names and rising stars.
