Whoos Nextt Festival returns with focus on creative economy
The Whoos Nextt Festival returns to Windhoek, Namibia, on August 8, focusing on the creative economy and providing a platform for emerging artists. This year's event includes a masterclass aimed at helping creatives develop sustainable careers and collaborate across the digital and music industries.
Why it matters
The festival serves as a hub for professional development and networking within Namibia's growing creative and digital content sectors.
The Whoos Nextt Festival will return to Windhoek on 8 August, bringing together local and regional performers, DJs and digital content creators for a day focused on entertainment and the growth of Namibia’s creative industry.
The festival will be held at Hage Geingob Stadium from 12h00, with South African acts including Sha Sha, Ami Faku, DJ Ganyani and Mdu aka TRP among the performers. They will share the stage with Namibian artists and DJs.
Unlike last year’s two-day festival, this year’s programme will combine the main festival with a creative industry masterclass on 9 August.
The festival was established in 2024 by local DJs Bonginkosi ThanksLord, known as DJ Bokkieult, and DJ Kido Railey. Bonginkosi says the initiative was created to identify and provide opportunities for emerging artists and creators.
