Music station celebrates Huawei Day today

MARK your calendar! Popular music station 947 has announced the line-up for the first-ever hybrid Huawei Joburg Day with 947, inspired by the Huawei nova series, today.

Huawei Joburg Day with 947 is an iconic event and the biggest bi-annual music extravaganza in South Africa. It has been transferred to a virtual space for the two most recent events.

Today the event will be hosted in a hybrid format for the first time, with a limited number of listeners lucky enough to experience the event in person as VIPs.

The artist line-up is Goldfish, Matthew Mole, Shekhinah, Nasty C, Prince Kaybee and DBN Gogo.

Thando Makhunga, station manager of 947, said: “We’re super-excited to announce that Goldfish will be joining the event for a virtual set from San Diego. They haven’t been back to SA since their last show at the end of 2019. The event will be live-streamed on YouTube, so the whole country is invited to experience an explosion of new talent, lifestyle, fashion and South Africa’s finest musicians.”

For the first time, a mix of fashion, design, entertainment and music will be included in the hybrid event.

This follows an on-air talent search on 947 where listeners had the opportunity to showcase their creativity in various fields. This included fashion and sneaker design, radio presenting, and music. The winners in all categories will share the stage with the top-class line-up. All Covid-protocols are adhered to on the day.

Huawei Joburg Day with 947 happens today and can be experienced free on 947.co.za and live on 947.
