Commercial radio station, 947 and telecommunications firm, Huawei are billed to host yet another multimedia extravaganza featuring the cream of the crop in South African music, performing alongside emerging local talent.
Similar to last year when the organisers experimented with an online show, this year’s Huawei Joburg Day will also be accessible through virtual platforms. It is free of charge for all music enthusiasts and will be flighted on Friday, 28 May between 4-7pm.
Budding artists Jordan Rivers and Courtney Courus will share the stage with heavyweights such as GoodLuck, Micasa, Jesse Clegg, Dj Zinhle, Prime Circle as well as Black Motion alongside Brendon Praise and Msaki.
Music lovers can enjoy the show on their mobile phones, in the comfort of their homes or cars or the backyard of their house.
Thando Makhunga, 947’s Station Manager says music is the core pillar of her medium.
“947 is always moving forward, going beyond for our audiences. It’s great to once again have Huawei on board for this exceptional music production that brings the City together,” says Makhunga.
Festival organisers say in light of Covid-19 protocols, the show has moved from one large venue in the City to wherever Joburgers want to be. From standing in long queues to watch SA’s hottest artists perform to enjoying the same experience, indoors.
Organisers say this year’s Huawei Joburg Day will bring energy, dance music and good vibes to all who log in to watch on YouTube and those who opt to listen live on 947.
Makhunga says last year’s show, the first of its kind, was a runaway success.
“The previous event was a success, setting new records with more than 20 000 live views on 947’s YouTube page,” she says.
