3 Artists at Hey Neighbour 2025 You Should Already Know About

Hey Neighbour Festival 2025 is shaping up to be the cultural moment of the year. Set in Pretoria on December 2025, this two day of music, fashion, and vibes will host some of the biggest international artists in South Africa for the very first time. With food stalls, camping, style moments, and major performances, it’s not just a festival, it’s a full blown neighbourhood experience. And the lineup? Unmatched.

Here are 3 headliners you need to know before the gates open.

1. Doja Cat

If there’s one act set to redefine the SA festival experience, it’s Doja Cat. Known for her chart topping hits like “Say So” and “Paint the Town Red,” she’s not just a pop star, she’s a cultural reset. Her fashion? Always fire. Her energy? Cunty. Her stage presence? Unmatched. Doja doesn’t just perform, she performs, with bold visuals, viral looks, and shocking surprises that fans can never predict.

This is her first time performing in South Africa, and the excitement is real, not just because of her music, but because she has South African roots. Which makes this performance a full circle cultural moment. Whether she’s rapping, singing, or just standing there looking iconic, she’s that girl.

Doja Cat live in South Africa? Now that’s something worth showing up early for.

2. Central Cee

Central Cee is the UK’s rap sensation, and let’s be honest, South Africa is obsessed. From “Doja” to “Let Go”, his tracks dominate TikTok, playlists, and parties. His lyrics reflect the real life of Gen Z, and his beats hit differently.

But Central Cee isn’t just admired for his flow, the man is fine. His clean cut, London boy style, especially in formal fits, has made him a fan favourite, especially among the SA girlies. We’re calling it now: Central Cee live in Pretoria will be a moment.

In a time where UK drill and UK rap are dominating South African playlists, and hip hop is rising again, Central Cee is arriving at just the right time to turn the energy all the way up.

3. Leon Thomas 

Best known by some for his role in the Nickelodeon show Victorious, Leon Thomas is now making waves with his soulful music career. His hit track “Mutt” gave us the line,

“She said, take your time, what’s your rush…”

and instantly captured the mood of a soft, reflective R&B moment.

Leon brings something different to the Hey Neighbour stage, a low key, chill, real R&B energy. If Doja Cat is the spectacle and Central Cee is the swagger, Leon is the smooth ride. Whether you’re a long time fan or hearing him for the first time, he’s the kind of act you watch with your eyes closed and your heart open.

His appearance is proof that Hey Neighbour isn’t just chasing clout it’s curating.
