Central Cee to add UK flavour to the Hey Neighbour music festival
The Hey Neighbour music festival has added UK Rapper Central Cee to the lineup. The skilled lyricist from Shepherd's Bush, London, England, will join a roster of performers, brimming with talent. The UK might arguably be one of the best places for hip hop. Both streams, grime and drill, appear to be more enterprising than the output of nations like America at present. Fans of real rap music found this staggered announcement to be a relief, as someone like Doja Cat is perhaps more of a hip-hop artist than apure rap. Central Cee, or Cench as he is lovingly known by his fans, will take to the stage on Saturday, August 30. He will dispense an array of his global rap hits, which include songs like Sprinter, Doja and Obsessed with You. His charismatic and choppy delivery works well on his albums. Hopefully, this translates well to his stage presence and approach to performance. Hey Neighbour has made a string of announcements over the last couple of days. Along with Central Cee, American R&B sensation Leon Thomas will be on hand with the musings of his impeccable magnum opus, Mutt. Fans are already salivating at the prospect of seeing the New York native dispense the lead and title single from that album. Hey Neighbour also announced that they are condensing their offering to two days instead of three. 'We're switching from a three-day festival to two jam-packed days, meaning the festival dates will be 30-31 August 2025. Yes, we're still bringing awesomeness to the hood,' they said via an Instagram post. They have also provided assurances that the festival will still be a world-class affair. All current ticket holders have been notified of this change by email. The first Hey Neighbour Festival was held two years ago. A string of local and international talents thrilled the crowd. Acts like Tyla, Swedish House Mafia and Kendrick Lamar delivered performances of a high level. This sophomore offering by the same organisers will have to go far and above what fans saw at the first iteration. Not to mention the unfortunate debacle involving exorbitant Uber fares at the end of each day. Hey Neighbour will be held at the Legends Adventure Farm in Pretoria in August of this year.

Lady Gaga and Jenna Ortega stun fans at Netflix Tudum
Netflix's Tudum event delivered a thrilling surprise for fans of the hit series Wednesday . American pop icon Lady Gaga took to the stage with a dramatic, gothic-themed performance that left the audience spellbound. The icing on the cake? Jenna Ortega, the star of the show, joined Gaga on stage, creating a moment that instantly went viral and won the internet. The 39-year-old singer-actress emerged from a coffin emblazoned with the words 'Here lies the monster queen'. This set a macabre tone fitting for the Addams Family-inspired series, according to Deadline. Backed by dancers dressed like Gomez Addams, portrayed by Luis Guzmán, Gaga performed Zombieboy from her critically acclaimed album Mayhem . The performance was a visual feast, blending Lady Gaga's signature theatricality with the eerie charm of Wednesday 's gothic world. Jenna Ortega, who plays the titular Wednesday Addams, made a surprise entrance during the performance. She casually walked across the stage and sat on a chair while Gaga danced atop a tabletop, a nod to the iconic dance scene from the show. Fans erupted with excitement, flooding social media with praise for the duo's powerful presence and gothic style. One fan exclaimed, 'Jenna came on stage with Gaga… I imagined this… I planned this and it came to life!!' Another hailed Ortega as 'the people's princess,' while a third called her 'an icon' who 'brought down the house with Lady Gaga'. Netflix also treated viewers to the first six minutes of Wednesday Season 2, which premieres on 6 August. The clip plunges Wednesday into a new murder mystery, with the character trapped in a basement by a serial killer played by Haley Joel Osment. Returning cast members include Catherine Zeta-Jones as Morticia and Luis Guzmán as Gomez, with Tim Burton returning as director. The new season promises more of the dark humour and supernatural thrills that made the first season a global hit. Lady Gaga's cameo was filmed in Ireland in just one day, and while details of her character remain under wraps, her involvement has fans buzzing with anticipation. Jenna Ortega praised working with Gaga and Burton, calling it 'a special environment' and describing Gaga as 'one of the most talented individuals I've ever worked with'. With Lady Gaga's electrifying performance and Jenna Ortega's magnetic presence, the countdown to 6 August just got a whole lot more exciting.
