Cassper Nyovest pulls off top 5 most attended shows at The FNB Stadium. Cassper has made some pretty significant moves for South African Hip Hop and the local music game as a whole, and although Mufasa remains one of the most bullied celebrities on social media but we love what he does for the culture.
Mufasa made it on the list of the most attended shows at the FNB Stadium and he is sitting conveniently at the number five spot when the South African rapper achieved his goal to fill up FNB Stadium”. The stadium’s capacity is 95,000 people. Nyovest sold a total of 68,000 tickets. He fell 27,000 people short, but who cares?
This is not too low seeing as he is the only local artist on the list, outranking some of the biggest international acts who have also performed at FNB Stadium.
The “Hip Hop artiste” made history as the first local Hip Hop artist who attempted to fill up the FNB stadium in 2017, performing his multi award winning medley of singles featuring some of the biggest names in the local Hip Hop game.
Reports showed the recorded data of the most attended shows at the FNB Stadium as follows.
1. Ed Sheeran – 135 000
2. One Direction – 131 000
3. Global Citizen – 100 000
