The lineup and what to expect
Kelvin Momo carries the soulful side of the bill. The private school piano pioneer has a knack for turning laid-back deep cuts into full-floor moments, and a sunset-into-dark set on a beachfront stage suits his sound perfectly. Dlala Thukzin brings the harder edge, folding Durban gqom rhythms into amapiano the way few producers manage.
It’s been a big run for him. He played Red Bull Symphonic at Montecasino in June, and he was in the studio with Kabza De Small last year in a session that set fan circles buzzing, so don’t be surprised if fresh material surfaces in Cape Town. We covered his set at Scorpion Kings Live at FNB Stadium in Johannesburg, and that energy holds up on an outdoor stage.
Below the headliners the bill runs deep: Dankie Boi, Mihlali The Guy, a back-to-back from Uncool MC and Ricky Lenyora, then Venom, Asante, Yung Slikk, A World, The Workaholics and Libo & MIV. With that many acts on one lineup, expect rolling sets and quick changeovers rather than long gaps.
The format moves from day to night. Gates at 17:00 mean early sets land in daylight with the mountain in view, and the headline performances arrive after dark once the beachfront lights take over. St Tropez bills itself as Cape Town’s premium lifestyle party, so expect a dressed-up crowd, table service and an atmosphere closer to an occasion than a casual session.

Plan the trip around the Waterfront. Uber and Bolt both service the area heavily, and parking in the precinct fills fast on big event nights. Heritage Day falls the day before on Thursday 24 September, so plenty of Capetonians will treat this Friday as the start of a long weekend and the roads around the V&A will feel it.
The announcement landed in early September and the Kelvin Momo and Dlala Thukzin pairing is what fans latched onto, with crew plans already forming for the full day-to-night run. Keep an eye on GMAT Agency for further St Tropez dates as the season rolls out, and if you’re mapping the wider spring calendar, Red Bull Unlocked Cape Town and Amapiano Fest in Durban land in the same window.
If soulful amapiano with an ocean view sounds like your kind of Friday, this is the one to circle. Head to the Quicket page, pick your ticket and lock in the season opener before demand moves.
