THE Soweto based Reggae star Layahn King is set to ignite the stage during the Catch A Fire International Reggae Festival, that will take place at Soweto Theatre in Soweto on Saturday, March 9th, 2024.
The exhilarating line-up boasts international sensations including Reggae Pressure Busspipe from the US Virgin Islands, DynamQ hailing from Sudan, and Zimbabwe’s very own Etherton B & Garry B. These global acts will join forces with South Africa’s revered artists and DJs such as the iconic Dr. Colbert Mukwevho, the vibrant Bongo Riot, Paul Mnisi—also known as Rudebwoy Paul—, the electrifying DJ Dino Bravo, Azania Band, Roots of Kush ZA’s, the enchanting Kebra Ethiopia, DJ BOB’s compelling beats and the rhythm masters University of Steppas, among others. The event will be energetically hosted by Aviwe Damane and Danger.
Fikile Makhalemele of Lioness Productions—the visionary force behind this international spectacle—shares that this year’s festival not only heralds 30 years of South Africa’s hard-won democracy but also commemorates the influential role of Reggae and Dancehall music in the nation’s history. “We are set to honour some of our greatest Reggae legends like Lucky Dube and Jumbo,” Makhalemele states. As a highlight to look forward to, the festival will present an unforgettable tribute to South Africa’s Reggae greats, —an intimate
homage that promises to be one of many special moments at this year’s celebration.
