MALKERNS – Fans of house music are in for a treat as South African sensation Sun-El Musician makes his highly anticipated return to the Eswatini Farmers Market Main Stage on 11 October 2025 at the Malkerns Country Club.
The acclaimed DJ and producer, renowned for hits such as Akanamali and Sonini, is no stranger to Eswatini. Having performed at the first two editions of the festival, his comeback has been fuelled by overwhelming demand from fans.
Festival founder and director, Culolam Dlamini, said the decision to bring him back was shaped by the audience’s voice.
“The people spoke, they demanded him back, and at Eswatini Farmers Market we take our people’s reviews and suggestions very seriously,” he explained. “He has a powerful catalogue of music, a relaxed style, and of course, he was part of our beginnings. Bringing him back feels like honouring the festival’s roots.”
A Proven Performer
Dlamini also praised Sun-El’s consistency and professionalism, which he said set a standard for other artists.
“Sun-El Musician always delivers the best sets. He is disciplined, professional, and truly world-class. Our upcoming artists need to learn from performers like him because they have seen and experienced the global stage.”
The announcement has already sparked a surge in ticket sales, with organisers reporting record numbers ahead of the event.
“He has already started driving ticket sales crazy,” Dlamini revealed. “People have been waiting for this moment.”
More Than Music
While Sun-El is the headline act, the Eswatini Farmers Market is much more than a music festival. It has evolved into a vibrant cultural hub, blending food, dance, fashion, and lifestyle experiences. From local cuisine and artisan stalls to dazzling fashion showcases, the event has become one of the most anticipated gatherings on Eswatini’s social calendar.
This year’s edition promises to live up to its reputation as a cultural melting pot, offering festival-goers an opportunity to enjoy an immersive celebration of creativity, heritage, and community spirit.
