MANZINI– The Hub is set to explode into life this New Year’s Eve, as the Manzini Club prepares to host the expansive “Dusk 2 Dawn” crossover.
This monumental event is structured across four distinct stages, bringing together talent from two nations for an all-night celebration that bridges the gap between various musical cultures.
The crossover is designed to be a melting pot of sounds, intentionally bridging the gap between the secular and the spiritual. By hosting Deep House, Amapiano, Hip Hop, and Gospel under one roof, the event aims to create a unified celebration that reflects the diverse heartbeat of the kingdom. The marathon event is scheduled to begin at 3 PM on December 31st and will carry revellers through the night until the first light of New Year’s Day at 6 AM.
The sheer scale of the local and international talent involved suggests that this will be the largest gathering in Manzini this season. To ensure a premium atmosphere, a strict dress code of Black, Yellow, or White has been issued, and security is expected to be tight across all four dance floors. The coordination of four separate stages requires massive technical planning to ensure the Deep House, Amapiano, Hip Hop, and Gospel sets run seamlessly from dusk until the break of dawn.
The lineup features over 40 selectors and performers, with the following 10 artists expected to lead the charge:
- MDU a.k.a TRP
- Kindly Nxsh
- !Sooks
- D.General
- Shongwe and Khuphuka
- V.Underground
- OddXperienc
- Linda Dlamini
- Nelly Siwela
- Sphiwo Ndoni
General presale tickets are currently available for E150, providing an affordable option for early birds looking to secure their spot at the kingdom’s biggest crossover. For those who prefer to decide on the day, tickets will be sold at the gate for E200. This pricing structure ensures that the event remains accessible to a wide range of fun-lovers from across the country.
However, big spenders looking for the ultimate VIP experience will need to act fast; VIP tickets are priced at E450 and must be purchased in advance. A stern warning has been issued that no VIP tickets will be sold at the venue on the day of the event. All tickets can be secured through Computicket Box Office and Shoprite outlets nationwide.
As the kingdom prepares to bid farewell to 2025, Manzini Club stands ready to host what is effectively a 15-hour musical marathon. Whether you are looking for the bass-heavy rhythms of the Amapiano stage or the soulful transition offered by the Gospel lineup, the Dusk 2 Dawn crossover promises to be a historic landmark in Eswatini’s entertainment calendar.
