your reactions to solange at afropunk joburg 2019

Yesterday, we announced that Solange will play AFROPUNK Joburg 2019. If you keep up with our festivals then you’ll know that Solange was scheduled to play our very first edition of the Johannesburg festival in 2017. For medical reasons, she was not able to attend. We’re excited to finally share this experience with our family in SA.

In honor of our #weseeyou mantra this year, here are some audience responses to the big news yesterday.

Some people were very excited!

I just remembered how much I cried when I saw Laura Mvula at Afropunk ‘17. Is my hyper-emotional Pisces ass ready to see Solange and NAO?😭 pic.twitter.com/L4VoS8tkM4

Please take this exercise seriously. Imagination may be the only place we see Solange at Afropunk JHB https://t.co/gC1zdDm4Ma

But most of all, Solange emphasized that she will be attending.
