The inaugural Music Is King Concert is set to take pace at TicketPro Dome in Johannesburg, this December. The concert is usually by Black Coffee.
“I’m in a space where I’m starting to make music not pigeon-holed into a genre and I feel music should be celebrated as music not divided into different genres because that divides people, their beliefs and thoughts and that is why this show will be about MUSIC. I’m working very hard to ensure that this will be a next level show and unlike anything this country has seen before,” Black Coffee said.
