“Duo Hosts for a spectacular round of family affair”
The countdown is officially on for one of the biggest Amapiano celebrations of the year as Scorpion Kings Live – A Family Affair prepares to take over Johannesburg’s iconic FNB Stadium on Saturday, 19 September 2026.
Adding even more star power to the highly anticipated celebration, entertainment powerhouse Bontle Modiselle and dynamic performer and entertainer Robot Boii have been called upon to take centre stage as the event’s hosting duo.
The pairing brings together two personalities known for their energy, charisma and ability to connect with audiences, making them a fitting choice to guide fans through what promises to be an unforgettable celebration of South African music and culture.
Bontle Modiselle and Robot Boii bring the energy
Bontle Modiselle has established herself as one of South Africa’s most recognisable entertainment personalities, with a career spanning dance, television, presenting and entertainment. Her natural stage presence and ability to command a crowd make her a strong fit for an event of the scale of Scorpion Kings Live.
Joining her is Robot Boii, a multi-talented entertainer whose infectious personality and connection with the Amapiano and youth culture space have made him a familiar face across South Africa’s entertainment landscape.
Together, the two hosts are expected to keep the massive crowd engaged throughout the day’s programme while helping create the high-energy atmosphere that Scorpion Kings Live has become known for.
A Family Affair at FNB Stadium
Headlined by Amapiano pioneers DJ Maphorisa and Kabza De Small, the Scorpion Kings are taking their live experience to a new level with the 2026 edition.
The event, titled “A Family Affair,” is positioned as more than simply a concert. It celebrates the extended Amapiano family — from the artists and producers who have shaped the genre to the fans who have helped take the sound from South Africa to audiences around the world.
Following the success of the 2025 Scorpion Kings Live with Friends show at Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Pretoria, this year’s event moves to FNB Stadium in Johannesburg, with organisers anticipating a massive turnout. Reports have placed the expected audience at more than 70,000 fans.
The scale of the venue reflects the growth of Amapiano from a South African movement into a globally recognised sound and cultural force.
A full day of music, entertainment and culture
Fans can expect the experience to begin from midday, with stadium access opening at 12:00, followed by the pre-show from 14:00. The main show is scheduled to begin at 18:00, running into the evening.
With Bontle Modiselle and Robot Boii leading proceedings, audiences can expect plenty of crowd interaction, entertainment and memorable moments between performances.
The event also represents an important moment for Amapiano culture, bringing together music, fashion, dance, celebrity culture and thousands of fans under one roof.
The Scorpion Kings continue to make history
DJ Maphorisa and Kabza De Small have played a major role in shaping the modern Amapiano movement. Their Scorpion Kings identity has become synonymous with some of the genre’s biggest collaborations, live experiences and musical moments.
The FNB Stadium event demonstrates just how far the genre has travelled — from township streets and local dance floors to one of South Africa’s biggest sporting and entertainment venues.
For fans, Scorpion Kings Live – A Family Affair promises to be a celebration of sound, movement and togetherness, while the addition of Bontle Modiselle and Robot Boii as hosts adds another layer of entertainment to an already highly anticipated occasion.
As Johannesburg prepares for thousands of Amapiano lovers to descend on FNB Stadium, all eyes are now firmly on 19 September.
