South Africa’s favourite neighbourhood is going global once again — and this time, the excitement is amplified with the addition of US R&B sensation Leon Thomas to the Hey Neighbour 2025 line-up.
That’s right. The chart-topping singer, songwriter and all-round soul powerhouse Leon Thomas is officially confirmed to join Doja Cat for a festival experience unlike any other.

Known for redefining R&B on a global scale, Leon Thomas is bringing his unique sound and unstoppable energy to one of the continent’s biggest stages this December.
Hey Neighbour is back with a bang — and this time, it’s a next-level two-day showdown that’s already generating serious hype both in South Africa and beyond.
We’ve taken all the magic of the 2023 debut, trimmed it down to two power-packed days, and created an experience designed to hit harder, resonate deeper, and stay with you longer.
The 2025 edition keeps the same focus: world-class talent, homegrown greatness, and a space where everyone belongs. From mainstage madness to intimate vibe zones, Hey Neighbour is more than just a music festival. It’s a cultural celebration, a memory-maker, and a call to come together through sound, connection, and community.
If you missed it the first time around, now’s your moment. Picture music that moves you, street food that hits the spot, new friends, real connection, and moments you’ll never forget.
And we’re just getting started. The local artist lineup — along with the possibility of even more international firepower — will be revealed in June. So start planning, tell your people, and get ready to bring your whole vibe to the neighbourhood.
