On Friday 28 June, the festival is gearing up for the most anticipated musical shower of the year with Tyla, an artist from Johannesburg who has became a global sensation with her 2023 RnB hit "Water".

The next day, Couleur Café is welcoming the renowned former chef from Brooklyn and international superstar, the massively talented rap bear: Action Bronson. Representing East Coast rap and enriched with soul, jazz, and funk samples, he is sure to delight old-school rap enthusiasts.
