JOHANNESBURG - Esona "Sona" Maphumulo has been added to the line-up at Ultra South Africa's tenth anniversary celebration.
The young DJ and producer who goes by the stage name Sona is Grammy award-winning Black Coffee's eldest child and is blazing his trail in the music business.
He joins the line-up alongside other popular South African acts such as Culoe de Song, Da Capo, DBN GOGO, DJ Lag, Dlala Thukzin, Kabza de Small, Fiona Kraft, Herdroom, Maphorisa, Mörda and Oscar Mbo.
Ultra, one of the most recognisable electronic music festivals in the world, has grown to become a platform for Africa's most avant-garde musical exports as well as a celebration of dance music from across the world.
The two-day event will take place over the weekend on the 9th at The Ostrich in Cape Town and 10th May 2025 at Johannesburg's Expo Centre at Nasrec.
Martin Garrix Dutch DJ and record producer who was ranked number one on DJ Mag's Top 100 DJs list for three consecutive years, will return to ensure that it celebrates its tenth anniversary in style.
He made his stage debut in 2015 following his debut at ULTRA Miami, and has been coming back ever since.
In a record-breaking 15 minutes, Rewind and Tier 1 tickets were sold out late last year. In its 10 years, this is the fastest and most successful ticket sale for the event.
