AS January stretches pockets and patience, the nightlife steps in with a packed weekend line-up designed to lift spirits, move bodies and momentarily forget the so-called Jan-worry blues.
From Friday through Sunday, Manzini and surrounding hotspots will be alive with groove, soul and high-energy sounds as lounges and shisanyamas roll out curated experiences for music lovers across the city.
The weekend kicks off tonight evening at IF’s Lounge in Manzini with Friday Groove, headlined by Zee The DJ. Known for her refined sound and crowd connection, Zee will be supported by Mistosoul, Yamkela and Acoustic Soul, delivering a smooth, grown-and-sexy atmosphere from 6pm till late. The event promises chilled vibes, quality music and an easy transition into weekend mode.
Also, The Xchange Lounge and Shisanyama opens doors early from 2pm for Turn Up Fridayz. The lineup includes Teesto, Bisto, Blvck, Bandora, Sweetshandis and Cnatra, with additional support from Dazza, Rooro, Tasha, Ace.Ma and Carro. With good food, cold drinks and high-energy sets, revellers can expect a full-on start to the weekend.
Tomorrow brings Unlock Saturdayz at The Xchange Lounge and Shisanyama, headlined by ItsallBlaq and supported by a strong collective of DJs keeping the soundtrack flowing from afternoon to night. Later, IF’s Lounge hosts Saturday Hits with Teesto from 7pm till late, featuring support from Mistosoul, Yamkela and Paris for a night of nonstop crowd favourites.
Sunday closes the weekend with Sooks Sunday at Brussels Lounge and Silky Sunday at Xchange Lounge and Shisanyama, offering relaxed vibes, soulful sounds and a stylish wind-down.
After all, if January insists on being long, fun lovers insists on dancing through it, wallets tired, feet sore, but spirits surprisingly well-funded.
