AFROTRAX, in partnership with PLAYY. Music is proud to announce that international hip-hop superstar French Montana will perform two exclusive South African headline shows this December, bringing one of the most celebrated live performances in global hip-hop to local audiences.

French Montana has become one of the most recognisable names in international music, amassing billions of streams worldwide through hits including “Unforgettable,” “No Stylist,” “Pop That,” “Ain’t Worried About Nothin’,” and numerous collaborations with artists such as Drake, The Weeknd, Post Malone, Cardi B, Swae Lee and Chris Brown.

The AFROTRAX series has been created to celebrate the intersection of African culture, music, fashion and global entertainment, delivering world-class experiences that connect international artists with Africa’s vibrant creative communities. Beyond the headline performance, attendees can expect a full-scale festival experience featuring leading local artists, DJs, food vendors, lifestyle activations, premium hospitality experiences and immersive production.

“AFROTRAX represents a new chapter in African live entertainment. Our vision is to build a platform that celebrates African culture while connecting audiences with some of the most influential artists in the world. Launching the brand with French Montana is a significant milestone for us and the beginning of something much bigger.”

The Johannesburg event at The Canvas will deliver a high-energy urban festival atmosphere, while the Cape Town edition at The Ostrich will offer a unique outdoor summer experience set against one of the country’s most iconic event locations. Additional artists, support acts, VIP experiences and hospitality packages will be announced in the coming weeks.
