A night of explosive sounds from four different genres, with different artists presenting the best that they have to offer. The Red Bull Culture Clash will see artists hit the musical battleground as they fight for the audience’s love.

The Red Bull Culture Clash originated in the United Kingdom. It is inspired by the Jamaican sound system culture where DJs would compete with one another in sound clashes. The crew that gets the loudest response from the crowd wins. This is far from a battle of the bands, it is about who has the heaviest sound, the best tunes, the most effective MC tactics and the most entertaining presentation.

These crews battle for the title of Red Bull Culture Clash winner. Representing the hip hop stage is the prince of SA hip-hop AKA, while Dj Tira’s crew will be on show to represent house. Nigerian dancehall sensation Patoranking will be representing Afrobeat while local legends Admiral and Jahseed round up the roster by representing dancehall.

4 sounds, 4 crews, one night, one winner; which sound will win? The Red Bull Culture Clash will be happening at Orlando Stadium on the 23rd of September. Come through and experience the ultimate battle of sounds!
