Back To The City International Hip Hop Festival | Jo’burg 10 October 2026 | #BTTC2025

[#BTTC2026 @BacktothecitySA]

For 20 years, Back To The City has carried the sound, the struggle, the style and the spirit of South African hip hop forward: "against all odds".
This year is not for the people who wait for the recap.
It’s for the ones in the crowd when the bass drops, when the city shakes, when history is being made in real time.
Because when they ask where you were for the 20-year celebration of Back To The City…
Will you say, “I watched it online”
or “I WAS THERE”?
10 October 2026 | Mary Fitzgerald Square, Newtown
Tickets are on sale now at Webtickets: https://t.co/kdZeHZzWO4
 Don’t be the one looking for a ticket when the whole city is already outside.
