All roads lead to Limpopo this November for the annual Limpopo Music Festival, hosted by Limpopo's Capricorn FM. The festival, which was launched three years ago, is a Capricorn FM initiative that aims to promote and celebrate South Africa's diverse musical offering.

The festival will take place on 26 November at the Polokwane Cricket Grounds and promises to showcase some of the land's most celebrated artists on Limpopo soil, a region known for its colourful cultural diversity. Performances will range from electrifying Afro-Jazz sounds to upbeat Kwaito and Hip-Hop jams, allowing the radio station's listeners and festival guests an opportunity to explore South Africa through music.

High-profile artists in action

The festival turns the spotlight on some of the country's most high-profile and critically acclaimed artists, such as Caiphus Semenya, Thandiswa Mazwai and Kabelo, all of whom have a substantial following in the country.

"Capricorn FM is very proud to be hosting the festival for the third consecutive year. This year the festival coincides with the on-air birth of Capricorn FM. With MTN and White Star's support the festival has grown from strength to strength and I am confident that this year the festival will once again be a success," says Simphiwe Mdlalose, Capricorn FM CEO.
