Renowned musician and producer Oskido is ready to celebrate the rich musical history of South Africa with the announcement of his Big Day Out, lifestyle festival.
The event which is said to take place in Huddle Park, Johannesburg on 30th November looks to reflect on the past 3 decades of music within our country. Here fans can look forward to listening to some famous tunes performed by some of the most loved and respected artists from the golden era.
While the event is set to take place just two months after the celebrations of Heritage Month, the kwaito pioneer, whose real name is Oscar Mdlongwa, says that the event is more than just about music, but about culture and heritage.

Speaking to the news and entertainment publication IOL, he said:
“Big Day Out is not just about music, it’s about celebrating our rich culture, our colourful history, and the joy that comes with it – music and food.
“Together with my team, we are excited to bring together some of the greatest talents in the country for a day of pure nostalgia and vibrant energy.”
He adds that festival-goers can look forward to a blend of old school as well as their new favourites which will all reflect how the music scene in our country has evolved.
The renowned producer has been a central figure in the evolution of music in South Africa. Earlier this year he was honoured with a Metro FM lifetime achievement award.
