Mahindra Fusion Fest 2026 returns to Pretoria this March, bringing music, fashion, and visual art into one curated night at the SunBet Arena at Time Square. Organisers have confirmed an expanded programme built around four themed “fusion” performances.
Why Pretoria and SunBet Arena make sense
Pretoria sits at the centre of Gauteng’s live-events circuit, and SunBet Arena gives the festival the scale it needs. Time Square’s arena operates as a multi-purpose venue for concerts and large events, and it positions Tshwane as a serious player for major cultural programming.
Local stat to know: SunBet Arena runs as an 8,500-seater venue, according to Time Square’s published fact sheet.
The four fusion showcases shaping the night
Rewind the Revolution
Zöe Modiga leads a line-up that includes Mafikizolo, Kurt Darren, and Claire Johnston, tracing South African pop across eras. Imprint, led by Mzukisi Mbane, handles fashion, while Shaun “Damn Vandal” Oakley contributes visual art.
Hip Hop Most High
Blxckie and Maglera Doe Boy share the stage with the Tshwane Gospel Choir. The Bam Collective curates fashion, and Ndumiso Nyoni supplies visual work.
Femme for All
This segment centres women performers across generations, featuring Naledi Aphiwe, Karen Zoid, Nomfundo Moh, and Mariechan, with visual art by Inka Kendzia.
All About Now
Amapiano takes focus with Zee Nxumalo, Focalistic, and Daliwonga. Munkus leads fashion, while Bushy Wopp adds large-scale visual work.
