Durban's biggest Heritage Month gathering is making a comeback, and this time it's bringing one of amapiano's most recognisable names to the stage. DJ Kelvin Momo has been confirmed as the headline act for the second edition of the eThekwini Shisanyama Festival, scheduled for Saturday, 26 September 2026.
The announcement was made during an exclusive festival launch held in Umhlanga on 30 July 2026, where organisers laid out their vision for what they're billing as the most significant lifestyle and cultural event in KwaZulu-Natal this year.

The festival itself is about far more than the music, though. Now in its second year, the eThekwini Shisanyama Festival was built around a celebration of South Africa's township food culture, local entrepreneurship, and the culinary traditions that have shaped communities across the country.

Township culture takes centre stage
A key focus of this year's edition is shining a light on how shisanyamas, the beloved neighbourhood braai spots found throughout Durban and surrounding townships, have transformed over time. What once started as informal gathering points have grown into well-organised commercial ventures that attract visitors, generate employment, and contribute meaningfully to the local economy.
The festival brings together food lovers, music fans, and small business owners under one roof, creating a platform that is as much about economic celebration as it is about entertainment. With thousands of festivalgoers expected to attend, the event is shaping up to be a landmark moment for KwaZulu-Natal's Heritage Month calendar.
