If you love live music, you’ve come to the right spot. Here we break down the biggest concerts happening now, give you quick facts about each show, and point out where you can get hands‑on experience in the industry.
From Cape Town’s beach festivals to Nairobi’s underground rap battles, the continent is buzzing with events. In South Africa, the Johannesburg Summer Jam draws thousands each weekend and features local hip‑hop stars alongside international acts. Meanwhile, Lagos hosts the Lagos Music Festival, a three‑day showcase that mixes Afrobeat legends with fresh producers.
North Africa isn’t left out either. Casablanca’s Marrakech Soundscape blends traditional Gnawa rhythms with electronic beats, creating an unforgettable vibe. If you’re into EDM, the Nairobi Rooftop Rave Series is a must‑see – it brings world‑class DJs to a skyline backdrop.
Watching shows is fun, but working behind the scenes can be even more rewarding. Many venues and festivals offer short‑term internships that let you help with stage setup, artist liaison, or marketing. Look for listings on our site’s internship board – we post opportunities from event promoters in Pretoria to festival organizers in Accra.
Tip: When applying, highlight any experience you have with social media or crowd management. Even volunteering at a local gig can give you the edge you need to land a paid placement.
Want to boost your chances? Create a quick portfolio of photos or short videos from concerts you’ve attended. Show how you captured the energy or helped out backstage, and you’ll stand out to recruiters looking for passionate people.
Remember, the music industry moves fast. Keep an eye on ticket sale dates and sign up for alerts so you never miss a chance to volunteer or intern at a major event.
Whether you’re here for the beats, the vibes, or a future job, this page will keep you updated. Check back often – we add new concert news, festival line‑ups, and internship openings every week.
