Scorpion Kings Live has officially sold out, marking another major chapter in the remarkable journey of DJ Maphorisa and Kabza De Small. The celebrated Amapiano duo once again captured the attention of the country after fans rushed to secure tickets for the highly anticipated FNB Stadium show, leaving both ticket batches completely sold out in a short space of time.
Excitement around the event has continued to grow rapidly over the past few weeks, with supporters eager to witness one of South Africa’s biggest music experiences. After the first batch of tickets disappeared within 24 hours, the second release followed the same path, confirming the extraordinary demand surrounding the show.
The official Scorpion Kings Live platform shared the news with fans in a celebratory message that quickly spread across social media. “History has been made! We are officially sold out! Should we go for the record as the second biggest concert and apply for an additional 10 000 tickets or go for a day 2? Let us know! Suite and hospitality go on sale 22 May. Kunzima manje. #ScorpionKingsLive.”
The statement immediately sparked conversations online as thousands of fans celebrated the achievement while others pleaded for another opportunity to attend. Calls for a second date have already started growing louder, with many supporters admitting they could not secure tickets before sales closed once again.
As for DJ Maphorisa and Kabza De Small, the sold out event stands as another reminder of their lasting influence within the Amapiano space. Over the years, the pair have become two of the genre’s most recognisable names, helping shape its sound while introducing it to audiences far beyond South Africa’s borders. Their catalogue of chart topping releases, major collaborations and large scale performances has played an important role in turning Amapiano into a global movement.
Hosting an event of this scale at FNB Stadium is a major achievement, and the overwhelming support from fans has once again highlighted the powerful influence the Scorpion Kings continue to have across South Africa. From longtime supporters to younger listeners discovering the genre through viral hits and live performances, anticipation for the concert continues to intensify.
Social media has since been flooded with messages of excitement, celebration and pride as fans count down to the event. Many described the sell out as a defining cultural moment for South African music, while others praised the duo for continuing to unite people through sound and shared experiences.
Although tickets are officially gone, anticipation surrounding Scorpion Kings Live remains far from over. With suite and hospitality packages still expected to become available later this month and discussions around either additional tickets or a second show continuing, the conversation around the event continues to dominate entertainment circles.
Once again, DJ Maphorisa and Kabza De Small have delivered a moment that will be remembered long after the music starts playing.
