/by

Kip Moore and Zac Brown Band are set to headline the inaugural Cape Town Country Festival (CTC) Oct. 26-27 at DHL Stadium in Cape Town, South Africa.

The lineup also includes Darius Rucker, Brothers Osborne, Cam, James Johnston, Morgan Wade and Craig Morgan as well as South African artists Ricus Nel, Riaan Benade, Demi-Lee Moore, Juan Boucher, Appel, Ruhan du Toit, Brendan Peyper, Ivan Roux, West & Cheree and Roan Ash, who will return to his hometown after moving to Nashville in 2022 and share his new music at the event.

“When we went to SA for the first time last year, the surprising part was it felt like a grass roots fan base that had been with us all along. There was a spark in that audience that I’ve been itching to light again. We are more than excited to see the South African fan base again,” shares Kip.

“I absolutely love Africa and try to visit every year,” adds Zac Brown. “We’re so excited that we get to perform at South Africa’s first-ever country music festival in October.”

DHL Stadium will be transformed into a 60,000 capacity, Nashville honky-tonk with American food, drinks, boots and hats. Heroes Events and Bok Radio’s Wimpie van der Sandt, who brought Kip to South Africa last year, will produce the festival with Red Light Management’s Gaines Sturdivant serving as Executive Consultant.

“The success we had last year with Kip Moore in South Africa proved there’s a vibrant and healthy country music scene over here. People in the music industry were skeptical when we explored the market, but we proved the concept and that gave us confidence to build the biggest country festival in the world outside the U.S.,” van der Sandt states.

“Wimpie and I dreamt up this idea together on a napkin after watching Kip’s jaw-dropping success in South Africa last year. I am incredibly proud of the new ground Kip has plowed for country music and music in general. We all took a chance on each other, Kip delivered colossal performances, and the fans poured in. CTC ’24 is the next iteration, and the door is now wide open for the entire country music genre,” notes Sturdivant.

Ticket go on sale this Friday (Feb. 16). Special payment plans that allow fans to pay over the course of three, six or eight months are available. For more information, click here.
