AmaPiano’s biggest duo is back, and Pretoria is about to feel the bassline

On 29 August 2025, DJ Maphorisa and Kabza De Small, better known as the Scorpion Kings, will take over Loftus Versfeld Stadium for a stadium-scale celebration of AmaPiano. And they’re not coming alone. Scorpion Kings Live [with Friends] promises an all-star lineup, dramatic visuals, and a sonic tribute to a genre that has reshaped South African music.

From Backrooms to Global Playlists

AmaPiano didn’t start in arenas. It started in house parties, backyard grooves, and taxis with cracked speakers. But over the past decade, the sound has gone global. From township roots to Paris Fashion Week soundtracks, AmaPiano has made itself heard, and the Scorpion Kings helped lead the charge.

Their music has topped charts, filled dance floors, and gone viral around the world. But this show is different. This one’s for home. For the fans who knew before the world did.

Tickets, Times, and What to Expect

This isn’t just a DJ set. It’s a live show with choreography, storytelling, mashups, and surprise acts. The party kicks off at 3 pm, and fans are already buzzing online with plans and predictions.

Ticket options:

Scorpion Pit Standing: R990
Western Stands: R300 to R700
Eastern Stands: R300 to R550
North & South Pavilion Lower: R600

Entry is strictly for over-18s, and no entry is allowed after 9pm. Security will be tight; no outside food, drinks, hubblies, weapons, or drugs allowed, and no passouts once you’re inside.

Who Are the “Friends”?

That’s the question. Previous Scorpion Kings shows have featured surprise appearances from Sha Sha, Young Stunna, Uncle Waffles, and more. So while no names have been confirmed yet, fans are already placing their bets on social media under the hashtags #ScorpionKingsLive and #KingsWillRise.

The hype is real, and the FOMO is building.

Pretoria, This One’s for You

Joburg may usually claim the spotlight, but this August, Tshwane takes centre stage. Loftus is known for rugby matches and mega concerts, but this time it will host the full spirit of AmaPiano: the beats, the movement, and the people.

This isn’t just another event. It’s a moment in music history. For Pretoria, for South Africa, and for everyone who’s danced to this beat since day one.

Scorpion Kings Live 2025 isn’t just about Maphorisa and Kabza. It’s about what they represent. This is a celebration of a sound that started local and took over the world. And now, it’s coming home in the biggest way possible.

Get your tickets. Charge your phone. Wear shoes you can dance in.
Because the Kings are rising, and Loftus is about to shake.
