Scheduled for Saturday, September 7, 2024, the event will take place at the Durban Exhibition Centre. Known for its energetic atmosphere and top-tier performances, Shimza X Friends has become one of the most sought-after events on the South African music calendar, and this year promises to be no different.
DJ Shimza, the mastermind behind the event, has once again partnered with award-winning promoter Junior Lavie to bring the party to Durban.

Speaking to TshisaLIVE, Lavie expressed his enthusiasm for the upcoming event, hinting at a lineup that will exceed expectations. “We are still working on the lineup, but trust me, it will be dope. We’re working on the next Youth Fest with Richie R, and POT (Party on a Tuesday) is returning this year!” he said.

However, he remains confident that Shimza X Friends will deliver an unforgettable experience.
