Rema & Ckay to perform alongside Kendrick Lamar at Hey Neighbor music festival.
Nigerian music sensations Rema and Ckay are all set to grace the stage at the upcoming Hey Neighbor Music Festival in Pretoria in December 2023.
These two artists are just a part of the stellar lineup of musicians that will captivate festival-goers during this anticipated 3-day extravaganza, which promises to be a celebration of joy, unity, and great music.
Rema’s participation in the Hey Neighbor Music Festival will be the crowning achievement of a phenomenal year for the Mavin singer. In February, he delivered an electrifying performance at the 2023 NBA All-Star Game.
Moreover, in September, Rema achieved a remarkable milestone as his collaboration with Selena Gomez, ‘Calm Down,’ became the first Afrobeats track to amass over a billion streams on Spotify, and it also secured its place on the Billboard Hot 100 for a record-breaking year.
To add to the accolades, the song recently claimed the inaugural Best Afrobeats Song award at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards.
Ckay has equally enjoyed an impressive year with his debut album ‘Sad Romance,’ receiving critical acclaim and achieving international success through hit singles like ‘Emiliana‘ and ‘Watawi.’
Attendees at the festival can eagerly anticipate the duo’s unique stage presence and the magnetic aura that has made them beloved figures in the hearts of Nigerian music enthusiasts. The event promises a seamless fusion of diverse cultures and a top-notch live music experience.
The Hey Neighbor Music Festival is scheduled to take place from the 8th to the 10th of December 2023.
It’s not just Rema and Ckay, as the festival boasts a star-studded lineup of global artists, including American heavyweights like Kendrick Lamar, The Chainsmokers, H.E.R., and Khalid, alongside South African rap sensations Nasty C and Focalistic, Kenyan musical group Sauti Sol, and many more. It’s undoubtedly going to be a musical extravaganza to remember.
