DVSN To Headline ‘Once Upon a Time in Joburg’ This December
DVSN To Headline ‘Once Upon a Time in Joburg’ This December. R&B powerhouse DVSN is set to light up Johannesburg as the headliner for the next edition of Once Upon a Time in Joburg on December 7.
The announcement by the event organisers arrived with a tease that felt like a mood board for late-night feels: “Having hallucinations…” and “Look what you made me do…” followed by the promise that “It’s not a dream.”
For fans of velvet harmonies, confessional lyrics, and crowd-silencing high notes, this is the moment to circle on the calendar. The festival confirmed that tickets will go live soon, inviting supporters to tag their concert crew as the lineup continues to build.
Organisers also revealed that more artists are to be announced, hinting at a genre-spanning bill that has become the hallmark of the brand. With DVSN’s catalogue built for catharsis and sing-along choruses, the duo’s first song at FNB, at loud volume, is likely to turn the arena into a choir.
“Look what you made me do…” reads like a playful warning to Joburg. The city’s R&B faithful already know what that means: a set that glides from late-night heartbreak to stage-shaking crescendos. From slow-burn favourites to club-ready cuts, DVSN’s shows balance intimacy and scale, the kind of performance that sends fans into the streets replaying the last hook.
Once Upon a Time in Joburg has earned a reputation for cinematic reveals and polished production, and this winter chapter looks set to continue the tradition. Expect crisp staging, deep cuts for day-ones, and a few surprises when the supporting cast is unveiled.
Keep an eye on the festival’s channels for the ticket drop, gather the group chat, and get ready to sing your lungs out on December 7.
