EDAM– As the curtain begins to fall on 2025, the local entertainment scene is buzzing with the announcement of the Amapiano Crossover Coolerbox Party, a high-octane festival set to ignite the plains of EDAM.
The event, which kicks off at 12 PM on 31 December 2025, promises an electric atmosphere for fun-seekers looking to dance their way into the new year amidst a sea of stars and high-end production.
The festival has pulled out all the stops, assembling a heavyweight roster of talent that bridges the gap between regional mastery and international acclaim. The lineup carefully balances star power from South Africa and the Kingdom of Eswatini, while showcasing a strong presence of talented women in the industry.
The following ten acts represent a snapshot of the elite talent set to grace the stage:
- Soa Mattrix (SA)

The event is designed to celebrate the popular “coolerbox” culture, allowing patrons to enjoy their preferred refreshments in a safe and vibrant outdoor setting. By opening the gates at midday, the festival allows for a gradual buildup of energy, transitioning from a sunny afternoon social into a high-stakes midnight countdown. To enhance the experience, the festivities include a camping option for those who wish to fully immerse themselves in the New Year’s spirit without the worry of a late-night commute. The entire production will be anchored by the charismatic MC Thando, who is set to keep the energy levels at a fever pitch throughout the transition into 2026.
Beyond the headliners, a massive contingent of supporting local acts ensure that every musical preference is catered to. This deep bench of talent highlights the festival’s commitment to supporting the local ecosystem while providing the crowd with the international quality they expect on such a significant night.
In an effort to remain accessible while maintaining a premium feel, the ticketing structure has been tiered to accommodate various preferences. Entry is structured with presale general tickets at E50, while those paying at the gate will be charged E100. For a more exclusive experience, VIP access is available at E250.
Additionally, a coolerbox fee of E50 applies, and camping spots are secured at E200. Tickets are currently available through all Moja Ticket outlets. With its blend of top-tier headliners and a festive “coolerbox” atmosphere, the Amapiano Crossover at EDAM is positioned to be the ultimate destination for those wishing to bid farewell to 2025 in true style.
