Back To The City 2025 Preps Begin As Ticket Sales Open. The legendary Back To The City Festival is gearing up for another unforgettable edition in 2025, and the wheels are already in motion. Hip-hop heads across South Africa and beyond are gearing up for yet another unforgettable cultural experience as the festival returns to Mary Fitzgerald Square, Johannesburg, on October 11, 2025.
Festival founder Osmic Menoe has confirmed that construction has officially begun, setting the stage for one of South Africa’s most anticipated hip-hop celebrations. Fans can start securing their spots this Wednesday, March 6, at 6 AM, when tickets go live at www.backtothecityfestival.com.
If 2024’s festival was anything to go by, this year’s edition is bound to be another cultural explosion. The Newtown-based event brought together some of the biggest names in SA hip-hop, proving once again why it remains the heartbeat of the movement.
Fans witnessed electrifying performances from industry giants like Emtee, Blxckie, Cassper Nyovest, Moozlie, Maglera Doe Boy, Gigi Lamayne, Priddy Ugly, MashBeatz, Nadia Nakai, and DJ Speedsta, each bringing their flavour to the stage.
But it wasn’t just the locals who lit up the city—Benny The Butcher, the internationally renowned lyricist from Griselda Records, delivered a performance that left festivalgoers in awe, further cementing Back To The City’s reputation as a global platform for hip-hop excellence.
With the festival’s construction officially underway, fans are already buzzing about what surprises 2025 might have in store. Will another major international act grace the stage? Which SA heavyweights will shut it down this time? One thing’s for sure—Back To The City is where history is made.
Mark your calendars, set your alarms, and get ready to secure your tickets when sales open at 6 AM sharp on March 6. This is a festival you don’t want to miss!
