He will headline the Hey Neighbour festival, joining previously announced headliners Swedish House Mafia, H.E.R., Khalid and The Chainsmokers. 

According to a press statement released by Glen 21 Entertainment, Lamar has been confirmed as headline act for day two of the festival, staging between December 8 and 10 at Legends Adventure Farm in Pretoria. 

“This festival is a global gathering, a vibrant celebration of music, culture, and most importantly, community. It's where the unfamiliar face in the crowd becomes the friend you dance with,” read the statement.
