The event is due to take place on November 21 at the Nasrec Expo Centre in Johannesburg.
Following his history defining concert this past weekend, the “Dreamer” Cassper Nyovest will join the line-up for the upcoming African unity concert alongside over 20 other multi-talented artistes from across the continent.
Originally set to take place last month, the concert was postponed in order to find a line-up that best represents the entire Africa as a whole. What was initially planned to be merely an evening concert has transformed into a full day festival of African music.
In just three weeks the star-studded line-up, which will now also includes musicians from Ghana, Angola, Cameroon, Zambia, Zimbabwe and Uganda, will descend on the city for one unforgettable day of festivities and celebration.
Unfortunately KO had conflicts in his schedule and will no longer perform at the AMC concert, but he is being represented by his crew, Cash Time.
Metro FM’s Pearl Thusi and T’bo Touch will play host alongside Nigeria’s music industry pioneer Olisa Odibua.
