MANZINI – The organisers of the Kota Festival have added another exciting name to their growing list of performers, with South African Amapiano star Young Stunna officially confirmed to perform at this year’s event on 24 October 2026 at Malkerns Country Club.
The announcement comes as Goldex Events and Bambelela continue unveiling artists who will take to the stage during the annual festival, which has become one of Eswatini’s most anticipated food and music events.
Young Stunna joins an already impressive line-up that features several renowned South African artists, giving festival-goers even more to look forward to. His addition is expected to strengthen the festival’s Amapiano offering and attract fans from both Eswatini and neighbouring countries.
The award-winning vocalist is no stranger to Eswatini, having performed in the country before. Over the years, he has built a loyal local fan base through his energetic live performances and a catalogue of chart-topping songs.
Young Stunna rose to prominence with the smash hit Adiwele, which became one of Amapiano’s defining songs. Since then, he has continued to enjoy success with popular tracks including Bopha, uNonkulunkulu, Sgija Disciples and Nkulunkulu, collaborating with some of the genre’s biggest names while cementing his place as one of South Africa’s leading Amapiano vocalists.
This year’s Kota Festival will be held under the theme “All White with a Touch of Yellow,” promising a full day of live entertainment, delicious food and vibrant festival experiences. Attendees will also be allowed to bring empty cooler boxes, while tickets are currently available through Computicket.
With more artist announcements still expected, the addition of Young Stunna has further raised anticipation for what promises to be one of Eswatini’s biggest entertainment events of the year. Fans can now look forward to seeing one of Amapiano’s most celebrated voices join an already star-studded Kota Festival line-up this October.
