To mark the highly anticipated return of our flagship festival, NATIVELAND, we are partnering with Coke Studio as our official headline sponsor of 2023.

Coke Studio is a global music platform that brings together the most exciting emerging and breakthrough artists from around the world, to create music that transcends borders, backgrounds and music genres.

As one of the biggest music performance platforms in the world, it is no surprise that for our return, we’re partnering with Coke Studio who has spent the past few years providing a platform for talented African acts such as Nasty C, Runtown, Young Stunna, and more.
