In an exciting twist, Davido, one of Africa’s most influential Afrobeats stars, is set to join Kabza De Small and DJ Maphorisa for the highly anticipated Betway Presents Scorpion Kings Live with Friends concert on Friday, August 29 at Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Pretoria. This announcement has sent shockwaves through fans and music lovers alike, marking the event as one of the biggest in African music history.
The revelation comes after weeks of the Scorpion Kings teasing a powerhouse lineup through their Meet Our Friends series. The final surprise—a fifth bonus episode—has now confirmed that Davido will take the stage, bringing his global hits and electrifying energy to Pretoria. Known for his immense influence on the global Afrobeats scene, Davido’s inclusion adds an extra layer of star power to the already star-studded event.
“Davido is family. Having him with us makes this a truly continental moment,” says DJ Maphorisa, emphasising the importance of the collaboration. Kabza De Small adds, “We’ve built this lineup to be history-making—and Davido is the perfect final piece.”
As one of the pioneers of Afrobeats, Davido’s performance is expected to be a major highlight of the evening, with his infectious energy and chart-topping hits, such as Fall, If, and FIA, setting the stage alight. His addition brings a unique cross-continental fusion of sounds, as Amapiano and Afrobeats come together for a night of musical excellence.
The event will also be a celebration of African music heritage, with Kabza De Small and DJ Maphorisa honoring South African legend Caiphus Semenya. A remix of one of Semenya’s timeless classics will be performed live by the Kings, adding another layer of cultural richness to an already exciting night.
With Davido headlining alongside a lineup that includes Ami Faku, Kwesta, Cassper Nyovest, Mlindo The Vocalist, Bontle Smith, and many others, this year’s festival promises to be a fusion of genres and musical traditions, showcasing the very best of African talent.
The Betway Presents Scorpion Kings Live with Friends concert will kick off with a day full of performances, starting with the pre-show stage featuring artists like DBN Gogo, Blxckie, and Vinny Da Vinci. Fans can expect non-stop energy before the main event, creating a full-day celebration of African music and culture.
