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.
The highly anticipated event series kicks off at The Ostrich Farm in Cape Town on Friday, 4 December 2026, running from 2:00 PM to 12:00 AM. It then heads to The Canvas in Johannesburg on Saturday, 5 December 2026, where the event will take place from 1:00 PM to 11:00 PM.
French Montana has become one of the most recognizable 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.
