Amapiano power duo DJ Maphorisa and Kabza De Small — popularly known as the Scorpion Kings — are gearing up to make history with a massive takeover of Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Pretoria this August. With preparations now complete, the dynamic pair is ready to deliver what promises to be one of the biggest live Amapiano shows South Africa has ever seen.
Scheduled for Friday, 29 August 2025, during Women’s Month, the Scorpion Kings Live concert is poised to be a monumental celebration of South African music and culture. The event will not only showcase their groundbreaking Amapiano sound but will also serve as a bold statement about the genre’s global influence and staying power.
Taking to their official social media platforms, the duo wrote:
“We’re done with the preps, we’re done with the planning… now it’s time for us to execute and for YOU to be a part of history!”
The post was accompanied by a behind-the-scenes video offering fans a glimpse into their intense rehearsals and meticulous planning sessions. The clip quickly went viral, sparking widespread excitement and praise from fans who have been eager to witness the legends in action.
This stadium concert marks a significant milestone in their careers, further cementing their status as Amapiano royalty. Filling up Loftus Stadium — one of the largest venues in the country — is no small feat and signals the genre’s exponential growth and mainstream acceptance.
The announcement also comes in the wake of persistent rumours of a possible split between the two. However, DJ Maphorisa has since put those speculations to rest, reassuring fans on social media that the Scorpion Kings are still united and stronger than ever.
“We’re focused. We’ve come too far,” he previously stated.
Fans can expect an unforgettable night filled with hits, surprises, and electrifying energy as the Scorpion Kings bring their best to the big stage. With the countdown officially underway, Amapiano lovers are clearing their calendars and securing their tickets to witness a historic moment in local music history.
The stage is set. The Kings are ready. Loftus will never be the same.
