The lineup for Hey Neighbour Festival 2023 has been released. Slather on your sunblock and put on some dancing shoes; the party is about to begin. The iconic three-day live music event, curated by Glen 21 Entertainment, will be held at Legends Adventure Farm in Pretoria.
Opening the event on Friday, December 8, Billboard chart-busting musical artists The Chainsmokers and Khalid will top the bill on the first night. Kendrick Lamar will perform a solo headline set on day two of the fest before the Swedish music supergroup, Swedish House Mafia, and singer-songwriter H.E.R. cap off the concert on December 10.
“Multi-Grammy-winning artist, Pulitzer Prize recipient, a cultural icon, and a living legend. Neighbours! Join us in celebrating the unrivaled greatness of Kendrick Lamar as he takes the spotlight on Day 2 of our festival!” The event organizer announced.
Kendrick Lamar is taking the spotlight as the only rap act with a prestigious Pulitzer Prize for Music under his name. The Compton-born rapper received the award on April 16, 2018, for his fourth studio album DAMN released in 2017.
The 36-year-old high-profile artist also has 17 Grammy’s, the latest being the 2023 Grammy Award for Best Rap Album – Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers.
