Following their huge success in 2019, the duo partnered with one of SA’s leading event organizers Glen21 Entertainment, as they will be hosting their first live concert “Scorpion Kings Live” at Sun Arena in Pretoria in April.
The 3-hour long, first-of-its-kind curated show in Pretoria will feature live performances from a string of talented artists to be announced closer to the show.
