With just a few days to go before HiNDE returns to Bulawayo on November 29, organisers say the hype around the event is outperforming expectations. Interest from fans and on social media has spiked earlier than anticipated, setting the tone for what is shaping up to be one of the brand’s biggest shows.
According to the organisers, engagement has been “solid – honestly stronger than last year,” a clear indication that HiNDE’s growing reputation is beginning to speak for itself. Ticket demand is mirroring the momentum, with some tiers already sold out well ahead of time.
While anticipation continues to build, the team is keeping the full line-up tightly under wraps. So far, they have unveiled South Africa’s Jazzworx and Thukuthela.
“The line-up is under wraps, no spoilers this time,” they said, adding that the growing curiosity “might just kill the cat”.
What they do promise, however, is quality. The curation for this edition, they hinted, was approached with intention.
“Jazzworx and Thukuthela will bring an added flavour fit for the HiNDE atmosphere,” they said.
Asked whether fans should expect surprises, organisers kept things grounded.
“HiNDE has always been a people-first show. Just come ready to have a good time, everything else meets you there. This event exists because of the fans. So, bring your energy and let’s make another unforgettable edition together.”
