Mbabane - The highly-anticipated House Musiq Fest is set to take place on March
29, 2025, at Manzini Club. This year, legendary South African Deep House DJs
Vincent Motshego, widely known as Vinny Da Vinci, and Brandon Dhludhlu will hit
the stage, bringing their unique sounds to the heart of Eswatini’s music
scene. They will be joined by a selection of local talent including DJ Fantacy,
The Scientists and DJ Selby. Notably, the line-up will also feature DJ Expo,
ensuring a strong female presence at this year’s festival. These exciting
updates were announced by Nduduzo Nkonyane, the Public Relations Officer for
SwaziBoy Entertainment, who confirmed that further details regarding the second
phase of the line-up will be revealed soon.
Numbers
Nkonyane promised House music overs an event like no other. “We would like to
inform our Deep House music fans that this festival will bring more fire to the
show, encouraging them to come in numbers for this fun-filled weekend on March
29. This year we are really stepping up,” he said, adding that they are even
considering camping facilities for fans who travel from afar and may not want to
drive home immediately after the show. The House Musiq Fest aims to celebrate
the House music genre alongside local artists and has been hosted in Eswatini
since 2019. The first event drew over 500 enthusiastic fans who share a passion
for Deep House music. Tickets for this year’s festival are available at all
Shoprite and Computicket outlets in South Africa, priced at E350 for general
admission and E1 000 for VIP access.
In previous years, the festival has featured popular South African musicians
such as Any X, DJ Terrence, Oscar Mbo and Tibza. Local artists including DJ
Crooks, Mistosoul, DJ MBO and Tonic Deep have also made significant
contributions to the event’s success. Nkonyane encouraged house music lovers
to continue supporting the festival, highlighting its reputation for smooth
organisation and a family-friendly atmosphere. In addition to the music, the
festival will also feature awards honouring individuals who have contributed to
the development of House music in Eswatini, with categories such as Connoisseurs
of House Eswatini, Pioneers of House and Achievers from the past year.
The House Musiq Fest promises to be an unmissable event for fans of the genre.
