The DStv Delicious Festival 2025, powered by LottoStar, returns to Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit on 20 and 21 September, promising a vibrant fusion of music, food, and culture.

This 12th edition celebrates South Africa’s creative spirit, blending traditional and modern, local and global, across two dynamic stages.

In particular, Sunday’s lineup delivers soul-stirring performances, from gospel to jazz and hip-hop, alongside culinary delights and fashion showcases.

For Johannesburg festival-goers, the DStv Delicious Festival is an unmissable weekend of heritage and extravagance.

DStv Delicious Festival Sunday: Gospel and Jazz Highlights

Sunday at the DStv Delicious Festival kicks off with soulful energy, led by Joyous Celebration Rewind, featuring alumni like Idols SA and SABC Crown Gospel Award-winner Khaya Mthethwa.

The stage then welcomes Mandisi Dyantyis, whose SAMA-winning fusion of African music and jazz captivates.

Zoë Modiga, honoured as Glamour’s Woman of the Year: Musician Game Changer, adds her afro-realist jazz flair.

These acts, for instance, embody South Africa’s rich musical diversity, setting a vibrant tone.

DStv Delicious Festival Headliners: Ms. Lauryn Hill and More

The Sunday lineup peaks with the 8-time Grammy-winning Ms. Lauryn Hill, celebrating the 25th anniversary of The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, joined by Wyclef Jean.

Special guests Ziggy Marley and YG Marley elevate the nostalgic hip-hop and soul vibes with hits like “Doo Wop (That Thing)” and “Zion.”

Meanwhile, Lira, an 11-time SAMA-winning Afro-soul queen, delivers her triumphant return with a blend of afropop and R&B.

“It’s incredible to be back at the iconic Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit, and we can’t wait to welcome fans to a weekend that celebrates us all through music and food as we come together during Heritage Month.”

Beyond Music

The DStv Delicious Festival offers more than music; it’s a feast for all senses.

The Channel O Dance Stage promises eclectic performances, while local food, art, and fashion activations showcase South Africa’s diversity.

In addition, the Proudly South African Delicious Mile offers a range of gourmet and street-food experiences.

This blend of culture and creativity, for instance, makes the Festival a true celebration of Heritage Month.
