Lordkez Celebrates Career-Defining Moment at ‘In The City’ Festival
South African R&B and soul artist Lordkez has reached a significant milestone in her career following a standout performance at the In The City festival held on Sunday, October 5, 2025, at the SunBet Arena in Pretoria.
The artist, known for her unique sound and emotionally rich performances, took to X to express her gratitude and excitement after the event, writing, “just did the biggest show of my entire career 🥹 thank you to everyone who pulled up for me!!! the love is overwhelming. and i’m living an answered prayer 🥹🥰 thank you for having me @ITC_Africa 🤍.”
The festival featured a lineup of high-profile acts including American R&B star Summer Walker. Despite the international presence, Lordkez managed to make an indelible impact on the night, holding her own with a performance that captivated the arena crowd.
Cassper Nyovest joined her on stage for a live performance of the remix version of her hit song “Aweh.” The moment electrified the arena, with the crowd erupting in excitement as the first notes of the track rang out. Together, the pair delivered a high-energy performance that had the audience singing along word for word, cementing “Aweh” as a fan-favorite anthem and one of Lordkez’s most impactful releases to date.
“Aweh,” which means “hello” or “what’s up” in South African slang, was first released as part of Lordkez’s project You, Me & The 90s. The remix featuring Cassper Nyovest, released earlier this year, expanded the song’s reach with a new layer of energy and cultural resonance. The track blends soulful melodies with nostalgic R&B elements and modern hip-hop influence, while lyrically reflecting themes of love, connection, and a sense of home.
The song’s success has been evident not just through streaming numbers, which saw a sharp rise following the remix release, but also in its reception during live performances. The response confirmed the track’s wide resonance with fans.
For Lordkez, the performance was more than a set, it was a moment of arrival. Taking to social media immediately after the show, she expressed heartfelt thanks to her supporters and the organisers, calling the experience a dream fulfilled. The crowd’s overwhelming response, combined with the energy shared on stage, reflects the growing influence Lordkez holds within South Africa’s evolving music scene.
As her fanbase continues to grow and her live presence strengthens, Lordkez’s performance at In The City marks not just a milestone but a turning point, signaling the start of a new chapter in an already promising career.
