L’vovo Derrango has officially been added to the lineup of Mayonie Open Air’s KwaZulu-Natal debut.
Taking place on August 29, 2026 at Chris Saunders Park, Umhlanga, Mayonie Open Air is shaping up to be one of the standout dance music experiences on the Durban calendar, bringing together some of the biggest and most influential names in South African music.
The addition of L’vovo Derrango adds another major layer to a lineup that already features DJ Kent, Bucie and NaakMusiQ, alongside a selection of leading Afrohouse and Afrotech talent.
L’vovo Derrango joins the line-up, reuniting with Mayonie Open Air founder Zakes Bantwini, who he has previously collaborated.
“Durban has always been an important part of South Africa’s music story. Bringing Mayonie Open Air here is about celebrating that legacy while creating a space for the next chapter of Afrohouse and Afrotech.
“We want people to come together, enjoy great music and experience the energy that Mayonie represents,” said Zakes Bantwini.
Known for his distinctive presence and contribution to South Africa’s vibrant dance music culture, L’vovo Derrango joins Mayonie Open Air at a pivotal moment for the festival as it expands beyond its inaugural success and makes its highly anticipated move into KwaZulu-Natal.
His addition comes as Mayonie Open Air continues to build momentum around a festival experience that is bigger than a single genre or performance. It is a meeting point for artists, music lovers and a culture that has helped push African electronic music onto stages around the world.
With Durban now in its sights, Mayonie Open Air is bringing together established voices, celebrated performers and a new generation of artists who continue to shape the future of Afrohouse and Afrotech.
