For DJ Ganyani, this event is more than just another performance. It is a homecoming, a chance to reconnect with the community that gave rise to his career and to honour the roots of a genre that has become a global force. Known as one of the pioneers of house music in South Africa, Ganyani’s journey began in Soweto during the era of cassette tapes and vinyl records. His early sets transformed local dance floors into spaces of unity and rhythm, laying the foundation for a sound that continues to inspire generations.
The event will run from midday until late into the night, offering audiences a blend of nostalgia and contemporary grooves. Fans can expect a carefully curated set that reflects both the timeless spirit of house music and its evolution over the years. More than entertainment, Where It All Started is designed as a cultural gathering, bringing together familiar faces, shared memories, and an atmosphere of pride in Soweto’s enduring influence on the music scene.
DJ Ganyani’s return to his roots underscores the importance of heritage and community in the story of South African music. His legacy is not only about the beats that filled dance floors but also about the way his sound has connected people across borders. As Soweto prepares to host this landmark event, the anticipation is palpable. For many, it will be a chance to relive the magic of the past while celebrating the future of house music.
Tickets are available through Ganyani Entertainment’s official platform, and the event is expected to draw fans from across the country. With its mix of history, rhythm, and community spirit, Where It All Started is set to be one of the defining cultural moments of 2026.
