MANZINI – Get extra free tickets by purchasing Squad Tickets!
The excitement is palpable as the highly anticipated sixth edition of the House Musiq Fest (HMF) approaches, scheduled for March 29, 2025, at the vibrant Manzini Club. Hosted by the renowned Swazi Boy, this festival is poised to be the highlight of the year for music lovers across the region.
Today, Nduduzo “Dankos” Nkonyane, the Public Relations Officer, announced an exciting new offering: squad tickets. This package, available exclusively for online purchase at Computicket Boxoffice, allows attendees to buy five tickets and receive an extra ticket for free. Additionally, those who purchase ten tickets will get three extra tickets for free. “Squad up! Tickets for friends & family are now available online—grab yours and score bonus tickets!” Nkonyane exclaimed.
With just three weeks left until the big day, Nkonyane shared valuable tips to help festival-goers maximize their experience. He emphasizes the importance of securing tickets early, advising, “Grab tickets for your crew and family now—don’t sleep on this one!” This is a must for anyone wanting to experience the incredible line=up of artists and DJs.
Nkonyane encourages attendees to plan their outfits in advance. “Map out your fest fits!” he insists, noting that festival-goers should aim to “make it iconic” as fashion plays a significant role in the experience.
Health is also a priority. “Hydrate like a champ and eat smart; you’ve got to shine for those pics,” Nkonyane advises, reminding everyone to focus on their well-being in the lead-up to the festival.
Regarding transportation, Nkonyane suggests considering options like park-and-ride, carpooling, or booking a reliable taxi service. “Sort your ride to get there smoothly,” he says.
As the festival falls on a Saturday, he cheekily recommends booking the following Monday off work. “No one’s grinding post-HMF!” he jokes, emphasizing the need to fully enjoy the festivities.
Nkonyane also reminds attendees to arrange childcare if necessary. “Line up Auntie to head home by the 25th, and if she can’t, Grandma’s got you covered—drop ’em off!” he adds with a smile.
For those looking to get glam, he stresses the importance of early appointments for nails and makeup. “Ladies, lock in those slots early! Gents, hit up your barber—fresh cuts only,” he urges.
For newcomers to house music, Nkonyane reassures them that there’s no need to feel out of place. “It’s all chill vibes, and you’ll fit right in with the groove,” he assures potential attendees.
Finally, Nkonyane encourages everyone to keep the energy high by bringing positive vibes and the hottest beats while leaving any negativity behind. He also notes that plenty of accommodation is available in Manzini, with various guesthouses and hotels to ensure everyone stays safe and avoids drinking and driving.
