They will be supported by the likes of Sho Madjozi, DJ Speedsta, Da Les, Gemini Major and Yanga.

‘The street culture scene in SA has never been this big and impactful, yet the industry lacks a safe and family friendly event that brings all these street culture elements together in one place”, says Sportscene Head of Marketing Jonathan Muir.
