The “Scatterlings” music festival is set to take place on August 1, at Huddle Park in Johannesburg. The festival is shaped by Jesse Clegg and Msaki.

Leading the lineup are artists like Zakes Bantwini, Sjava and Sun-El Musician, alongside Msaki and Clegg, who are also behind the curation of the festival.

The event brings together a mix of sounds and generations, with names like Simmy, MUZI, Beatenberg, Tresor and Zolani Mahola also on the bill.

Rather than positioning itself as just another festival, “Scatterlings” leans into the idea of collaboration.

The lineup reflects that, with artists from different genres and eras sharing the same stage to celebrate South African heritage.
