RNB VS AMAPIANO PE Edition Takes Over GQ Terrace Gqeberha
About this event
RNB VS AMAPIANO touches down in Gqeberha this Saturday, 3 October 2026, with the PE Edition taking over GQ Terrace in North End. Doors open at 20:00 and the music runs straight through to 03:00 on Sunday morning. Tickets are still live from R80 on Quicket, and the promoters are pushing early booking with capacity limited.
LSD and Common Ground Events run the series, which has already stopped in Johannesburg, Durban and Pietermaritzburg. Gqeberha gets its turn with the same formula that’s worked elsewhere: R&B smoothness on one side, amapiano heat on the other, and no pressure to pick a team.
- Date: Saturday 3 October 2026, 20:00 to 03:00
- Venue: GQ Terrace, 2 Slater Street, North End, Gqeberha
- Lineup: billed as SA stars plus top local talent, names still under wraps
- Tickets: from R80 per person, tables available online
- Buy tickets: Quicket
Lineup and what to expect
No performer names have been confirmed for the PE Edition yet. The promo promises South African stars who’ve rocked international stages alongside the best of local talent, with non-stop music swinging between the two genres all night.
Earlier editions of the series featured acts like Clint L, Summer Heynes, Kristin Singh, SJ and Hurshy On Decks, so expect a similar blend of vocal R&B sets and amapiano DJs. None of those names are locked in for Gqeberha though, so hold off on any lineup rumours until the promoters drop the final bill.
The format is the draw here. Instead of a straight amapiano night, the sets switch between genres, which keeps the floor moving whether you’re there for slow jams or log drum basslines.
Tickets, tables and the practical stuff
General entry starts at R80 per person. There’s no unreserved seating at all, so tables are the only way to guarantee a spot, and they’re booked online. Each table booking includes the personal table plus tickets for your crew.

The event is strictly 18+, no under 18s and no weapons on site. It’s also non-refundable, so lock in your crew’s availability before you pay. GQ Terrace sits at 2 Slater Street in Gqeberha Central, an easy Uber or taxi ride from most central suburbs, though dedicated parking isn’t detailed in the listings.
Reaction locally has been warm. Comments on the promoter’s posts have run along the lines of “PE it’s time”, with locals clearly chuffed the series is finally hitting the city. Broader online chatter has been quiet this week, partly because the event is tomorrow and the lineup names haven’t dropped yet.
For those planning further ahead, Amapiano Fest hits Durban’s Botanic Gardens later in October, and Best of Both Worlds lands at Heartfelt Arena in Pretoria in December with a similar two-genre clash.
If you’re 18 or older and torn between R&B and amapiano, this one’s built for you. Grab your table on Quicket before Saturday night, because there’s no seating at the door and the promoters have been clear that capacity is limited.
