Barfest by Stogie

Stogie T presents BarFest  (The Lyricist Series)

Untitled Basement, Johannesburg | Saturday 6th December 2025

Featuring Nadia Nakai, Flvme, Maglera Doeboy, Stogie T

Hosted by Stogie T

Barfest closes out 2026 with a definitive celebration of the culture. On 6 December 2026, we return with a stacked lineup that captures the full energy, grit and depth of South African hip hop. Taking centre stage are three of the country’s most versatile voices: Maglera Doe Boy, bringing his razor-sharp street poetry. Nadia Nakai, delivering star-power and electric performance energy and Flvme, with his melodic precision and unmistakable flair.

We also feature a special performance from Stogie T, marking a rare year-end appearance from one of the continent’s most accomplished lyricists. A moment designed for heads who value craft, narrative depth and live excellence.

Our resident DJs Amu, Osmic and DJ Zan D return to curate the sonics of the night and to honour an exceptional year in the culture, we present a headline showcase battle: Cerebro vs Tee Starz — a clash of raw lyricism, technical skill and stage command.

This is more than a show, it’s the final salute to a powerful year for South African hip hop, a communal gathering to close the calendar with craft, culture and celebration.
