What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival's identity is built on pairing a food festival with a genuine international concert booking, a format uncommon among South African food events

02

The mystery stays covered

Independent references confirm major international bookings, including a Janet Jackson performance marketed as part of the festival's promotional material, and a partnership with Coke Studio Africa, which had DStv Delicious as one of its collaboration points in past seasons

03

The city starts moving

That combination, marquee international artists plus a curated food-vendor lineup under one DStv-branded event, gives it a different profile from Johannesburg's other music festivals, most of which focus on music alone
