“Join us for the Sbu De Drum DJ One Man Show. We’re taking it to the next level! You don’t want to miss this historical event. Stay tuned and get those dance shoes ready!”
While the venue for the show is yet to be confirmed, Sbu assured fans that it will be a location that complements the vibrant atmosphere he aims to create.
The anticipation surrounding the event is heightened by the promise of a diverse line-up, which Sbu has teased will include a mix of local talents and renowned South African artists.
Although he remained tight-lipped about specific names, he hinted, “It will be a great show, something exciting worth looking forward to.”
Fans can expect a blend of genres and styles that reflect the rich tapestry of South African music.
This upcoming show marks a significant milestone for Sbu, as it will be his second one-man show. His first performance, held during the challenging times of the Covid-19 lockdown, was a collaborative effort with Destiny at the Xchange Shisanyama in Manzini.
That event not only showed his resilience as an artist but also highlighted his ability to adapt and thrive in difficult circumstances.
The success of that show laid the groundwork for his current endeavours and demonstrated the strong support he has within the community.

Sbu’s journey as a DJ has been nothing short of remarkable. In October of last year, he was among the headliners for the Ocean Summer Vibes event, which featured three prominent South African artists: Kabza De Small, DJ Maphorisa, and Young Stunna.
This event took place at Riders Ranch and was presented by Ocean Cuisine Restaurant and Bar, further solidifying Sbu’s reputation as a key player in the South African music scene.
His ability to share the stage with such esteemed artists speaks volumes about his talent and the respect he commands in the industry.
